Dear FlatSigners!

Bruce Crandall receiving Medal of HonorI am truly proud to inform you about a long awaited and much deserved honor that was recently awarded to a true American hero, Lt. Col. Bruce Crandall and that FlatSigned was there. On February 27, 2007, Crandall's heroism in the Vietnam War more than 40 years ago was officially recognized when he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation's highest award for military valor. It was on November 15, 1965 that the very first major battle of the Vietnam War began, the Battle of the Ia Drang Valley, and it was the first battle to use helicopters to insert troops into battle quickly. Crandall flew the lead helicopter into the attack at Landing Zone X-Ray and in spite of the danger, Crandall and his wingman, Ed "Too Tall" Freeman, flew into X-Ray more than 18 times to bring in ammunition and helped bring out and save 70 wounded soldiers that day. President George W. Bush praised Crandall's actions at the ceremony and personally stated "For the soldiers rescued, for the men who came home, for the children they had and the lives they made, America is in debt to Bruce Crandall. It's a debt our nation can never really fully repay."

Crandall's heroic actions were immortalized in Lt Gen Hal Moore's critically acclaimed book "We Were Soldiers Once...And Young", which many consider THE most accurate and detailed book ever written about the war. In 2002, a film version based on the book was made which starred Mel Gibson as Hal Moore and Greg Kinnear as Crandall. We at FlatSigned Press are proud to say that we are the only company to have produced a Signed Leatherbound Limited Edition of the historic book and that it is the fastest selling book of all our published works!

FlatSigned Press was honored that at the presentation by President Bush, recipient Crandall was given two things; the actual Medal of Honor and his own, personal copy of our heirloom quality, autographed leather-bound book. "At the request of the recipient's son, FlatSigned Press was very proud and honored to be asked to be a part of such a wonderful occasion," said Chairman of The FlatSigned Companies, Tim Miller. This autographed, Nashville published, Limited Edition book was presented to the recipient Major Crandall at the same time he received the Congressional Medal of Honor. Major Crandall's son, Michael Crandall made these arrangements with White House Staff and Nashville based FlatSigned Press, Inc. Major Crandall's copy was additionally autographed by President Bush for the recipient at the ceremony. We are able to offer 2 very special copies of our book SIGNED by Hal Moore, Joe Galloway, AND Bruce Crandall, the newest recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Jesus' Tomb "Discovered."
FlatSigned VIPS were there 3 years ago!

 

On February 26th, 2007, award-winning director James Cameron made the incredible world announcement that he, along with his director, Simcha Jacobovici, have documented the unearthing of the Talpiot Tomb, which is alleged to be the tomb of Jesus! The documentary of this historical moment, named "The Lost Tomb of Jesus", was broadcast on the Discovery Channel on March 4, 2007 with great controversy and interest. This brings back again into question of the true life of Jesus, which has been debated amongst biblical and religious scholars for centuries now. But while the "discovery" of Jesus' tomb is indeed noteworthy, what was purported to have been found in the tomb, the bones of Jesus and his family, is hardly new news and was no doubt spurned by Dan Brown's international best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code!

Dan BrownIn 2003, it was Brown and his incredible book that really brought it into the forefront of the world's consciousness and mainstream public and help reignite the centuries old debate not just among the scholars and intellectuals, but all across the world in living rooms, television, radio, entertainment and many other public forums. When Brown visited Nashville, TN on June 12, 2003, he shared with our staff that his then recently released and soon to be blockbuster novel was an action packed thriller depicting a search for the tomb of Jesus and Mary Magdelene and was based on prior published non-fiction works and fact based theories that Jesus and Mary were married and had at least one child. While the worldwide debate of whether the tomb at the center of this theological controversy really is that of Jesus of Nazareth and his family, the fact is, it was Brown who first caused this same story to be worldwide news and the information has been available to the world via Dan Brown and www.FlatSigned.com for over three years!

Dan
Brown with FlatSigned President Mike CotterFlatSigned has one of the world's largest collections of works from Dan Brown including the now rare First Edition and autographed copies of The Da Vinci Code and also autographed First Editions of Brown's earlier works, which are even more valuable. Brown works range in topics similar to Cameron's "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" discovery to cyber-terrorism. FlatSigned is proud to offer a wonderful copy of his masterpiece along with other classics from his amazing collection of works.
