For the first half of November, we created this display to honor Veteran's Day. I used the picture from the official Veteran's Day site to remind people of the exact day. It was fun to research fiction titles for this--I wanted war stories that could have actually happened, not alien invasions! Also, I wanted thrillers set during one of the wars that Americans had participated in, so I didn't go before the Revolutionary War. I also ruled out espionage and other CIA/FBI type thrillers, or books about imagined terrorist attacks.
Pulling relevant books from the non-fiction stacks and biographies was very easy.
