Bill Strusinski - Care Under Fire
His Book “Care Under Fire” has been recognized by The National Indie Excellence Awards as the Best Military Non-Fiction Book of the year in its 15th annual contest. In addition, the Next Generation Indie Book Awards named it a finalist in the category, Memoirs (Overcoming Adversity/Tragedy). More than 50 years have passed since Bill Strusinski, 74, served as a medic in the First Infantry Division during the Vietnam War, but the memories of what happened on the battlefield are as fresh in his mind today as if they had happened just yesterday. The book is also a recipient of the 2020 Veterans Voices Award from the Minnesota Humanities Center. Bill Strusinski and his wife, Kirsten Libby, make their home in Scandia, Minnesota.

About Rotary International
"Whatever Rotary may mean to us, to the world it will be known by the results it achieves. " - Paul Harris
Rotary started with the vision of one man — Paul Harris. The Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on 23 February 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships.
Over time, Rotary’s reach and vision gradually extended to humanitarian service. Members have a long track record of addressing challenges in their communities and around the world.
