Glen Proctor Veteran's Day Book Signing

Glen Proctor

In honor of Veteran's Day, Tuesday, November 11th, Glen Proctor will be hosting a Book Signing and Chat at the Harper Campus (315 West Herbron Street, Charlotte) of Central Piedmont Community College. The event begins at 12:30 pm and is open to the public. 

Just as important as Veterans Day, November 10th is the 239th birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps. For Marines, that's the most important day of the year. 

The book will be available for purchase at the event. For efficiency's sake, Glen is asking attendees to purchase the book in Charlotte Park Road Books or online at Barnes & Nobles or Amazon.

The event is sponsored by Student Life and the Center for Military Families & Veterans and one of CPCC's events to celebrate student veterans.

Congratulations Glen on your new book! Let's support our CAABJ Member, Glen Proctor on this awesome event.
