He was awarded a Combat Infantryman’s Badge, the Bronze Star with “V” Device for Valor, and the Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster. In 2009, 2010, and 2011 he experienced positive results in the National Veterans Creative Arts Competition writing in various forms. John currently resides in Salem, Virginia with his wife Nancy Wheeler.Of MICKEY 6, John writes:"You may have read many stories about war but have you ever lived through it? Mickey 6 takes you on a journey through the Vietnam War in the mind of a man who did. You will experience the rush of battle adrenaline, the fury of combat, the horror of death and destruction surrounding you, and the despair for ever finding a path home. You will come to understand that men fight, finally, for each other in the hope they will all survive. You will discover the true cost to the soul of doing what is necessary to accomplish the mission, while striving against overwhelming odds and fighting both the enemy and those who should be supporting you, to keep those around you alive. At the last, you will know that those who serve want recognition only for doing their job and will leave heroes and devils to the judgment of others."Other Publications by John KoelschStrategic Budgeting (ICMA MIS Report) (5,000+ sold - Non-fiction)A Christmas Pony (Short Story) – (Patchwork Path: Christmas Stocking Anthology)PoetryLove is in The Air – “Horizons” – South Carolina Writers Workshop AnthologyShall I Lay You In Lavender – “The Quill” – SCWW NewsletterLove Begins But Never Ends – Turning Corners – Poetry AnthologyCalm – (Haiku) – Prime Living” MagazineMusings 1 – “Clinch Mountain Review” – Poetry AnthologyYou Don’t Know –Lacrossetribune.comFast Movers –Lacrossetribune.comSeasons (Haiku) - Graphics By Marilyn: Lara’s Den ~ Haiku: SeasonsBugs – Graphics by Marilyn: Lara’s Den ~ BugsSilent Thunder – Graphics by Marilyn: Lara’s Den ~ Silent ThunderThe Unique Whole - Graphics By Marilyn: Lara’s Den ~ The Unique WholeCherry Blossoms – (Haiku) Sandusky Register NewspaperAwardsNational Veterans Creative Arts CompetitionsForever In Black (Poem) – 1st Local/2009Harvest (Poem Collection) – 1st Local/2009The Interview (Duologue) – 1st Local & 1st National/2009Ghosts (Monologue) – 1st Local & 3rd National/2010The General - Keith Lincoln Ware (Short Story) – 1st Local & 1st National/2010Andraste (Poem) – 1st Local/2010Shirley Jeffries Memorial Therapeutic Arts Scholarship Recipient/2010Grunts (Poem) – 1st Local & 2nd National/2011Call Of Duty (Monologue) – 1st Local & 1st National/2011Service (Short Story) – 1st Local/2011PoemsForever In Black – 1st Spiritual Category - “Poetry Square Off I” Columbia, SC /2002Flutterbys – 3rd Open Category - “Poetry Square Off II” Columbia, SC/2003Olde Wheelbarrow New Tulips – 2nd Adult Category – Botetourt County Library Poetry Contest, VA/2007Short StoriesThe Interview – 2nd – Virginia Writers Club (Valley Writers)/2009ver menos
