Williamsburg, Virginia Oct 4, 2024 (Issuewire.com)  - Kathy Kasunich has been honored with a prestigious bronze medal from the Military Writers Society of America (MWSA) for her historical fiction romance novel, Always Remembering. This award, presented during a celebratory dinner in San Diego, recognizes the exceptional quality and historical accuracy of her work, which chronicles the journey of the 42nd Rainbow Division during World War II while exploring the struggles of a long-distance relationship inspired by her parents' experiences.

Always Remembering offers a meticulous and engaging account of one of World War II's most distinguished divisions, known for being the first unit to liberate Dachau Concentration Camp. The novel draws from a rich collection of war diaries, heartfelt letters, personal interviews, and extensive research, weaving a compelling narrative that resonates with readers. It follows the story of Mike, a medic, and Helen, a real-life couple, as they navigate the challenges of maintaining their relationship amid the brutal realities of war.

The Military Writers Society of America praises the book, stating, "I’d highly recommend this book for anyone who wishes to take a look into the lives of two everyday citizens during WWII and see how their love, faith, and communication during challenging times helped them forge a stronger bond in the end."

Kathy, originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, now resides in Williamsburg, Virginia. Her short fiction appears in the recently released anthology Christmas on the Bay, and she was a finalist in the 2023 Golden Nib Awards for her poetry. Currently, she is working on a new novel set in 18th-century Williamsburg, inspired by the vibrant history of her surroundings. Kathy is a member of the Chesapeake Bay Writers and the Writers Guild of Virginia.
