Proven in Blood is an amazing WWII story of Japanese Americans fighting for their freedom after Executive Order 9066 unconstitutionally jailed 120,000 innocent Americans of Japanese decent.
The men of the 442 were some of the best America had to offer, and their legacy lives on in Proven in Blood. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
WATCH: @TopShotChris joins Katie with more about his new book "Proven in Blood" and why the story of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team's heroism needed to be told.
Our country is grieving yet again and anti-gunners want to double down on ineffective “gun-free” zones and other gun control measures that will only impact responsible gun owners.
I’m thankful for the conceal carry hero who stopped the shooter and prevented this from becoming an even larger tragedy.

WATCH: @TopShotChris and Richard Goodstein join Katie to react to new information about the heroism displayed by a teacher and an armed father who stopped the shooter at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon, yesterday.

An armed bystander heroically took down a school shooter in Bend, Oregon and we're learning more about the teacher who died fighting to protect her students. Now, the tragedy is being made into a political issue with politicians calling for gun control.
Plus, TDS spurs on “No Kings” rallies ahead of the midterms, Elon Musk’s flying car, the true story that inspired Chris Cheng’s new WWII book, and more!

This WWII novel is an exciting and inspirational story based on the real story of the segregated Japanese American US Army unit, the 100th Infantry Battalion and 442nd Regimental Combat Team.
Proven in Blood is about what it means to be American in a world where the gov’t doesn’t trust you simply bc of your ethnic origin. It’s a riveting war story from The Greatest Generation.
My close buddy, @TopShotChris just released a new book! Go check it out and support him!!

Proven in Blood goes on sale tomorrow! Ebook, paperback and hardcover will all be available on Amazon.
This incredible WWII story of Japanese American soldiers of the 100th/442nd fighting racism at home and abroad has been personally inspiring and moving. It addresses a core question of What Does It Mean to Be American? The Nisei soldiers proved themselves in blood, and showed America what we can look like when we’re at our best.

Check out my great interview with Gun Freedom Radio about my new WWII novel (and new title!) called Proven In Blood.
I aspire for it be one of the best reads of the year 🙌🙌
A lesser-known story of American bravery. Even after being incarcerated by their government and mistrusted by their neighbors, the Japanese Americans who joined the military to fight during WWII found a way out. Stand on principle, believe in freedom, and back words with action.
Recently, Cheryl had an amazing opportunity to talk with @topshotchris Top Shot Chris Cheng, who is an American sports shooter, Second Amendment and diversity outreach advocate, and History Channel’s Top Shot Season 4 Champion. He is the author of the beginner’s shooting guide Shoot to Win and the World War II historical novel Proven in Blood: A Novel of War, Betrayal & Belonging. (**Recently updated title**)
Inspired by true events and the experiences of real Nisei, Proven in Blood follows Japanese American soldiers of the legendary 100th Infantry Battalion / 442nd Regimental Combat Team as they fight to prove their loyalty to a country that incarcerated their families. Blending meticulous historical research with compelling fiction, the novel shines a light on one of the greatest—and least widely known—stories of courage and sacrifice in American military history.

New book title — Proven in Blood: A Novel of War, Betrayal and Belonging
Some Japanese American veterans groups highlighted how the old title was a nickname earned by one unit, but my novel is primarily about the other unit. I listened to their feedback and changed the name.
What’s not changing? It’s the same book, same story, same characters.
Coming to the world September 29, 2026. Stay tuned for more updates.

The M1 Carbine: featured in The Purple Heart Batallion.
Another iconic weapon of WWII, my personal M1 Carbine is unique in that it was manufactured by I.B.M. yes the computer company.
Multiple industries in America retooled their machines to make the M1 Carbine and its versions like the IBM one that harken back to an incredible moment in U.S. history. General Motors, Underwood Typewriter, and Rock-ola jukeboxes are some of the other M1 Carbine manufacturers.
Only 20 hours left to support my Kickstarter to self-publish the amazing WWII story of Thr Purple Heart Battalion.

The M1 Garand wasn’t just a rifle, it was one of the weapons that shaped WWII.
I drew on my background as a professional marksman to bring that realism to The Purple Heart Battalion.

@TopShotChris is a friend, supporter of my work on gun culture, and fellow author. Here's a picture of us together that appears in my GUN CURIOUS book. Chris is ready to publish an interesting work of fiction and I am shocked that his @Kickstarter campaign hasn't reached its goal with fewer than 3 days to go. If you want to support good people, good gun people, and good writing projects, please support his campaign. I also want to get the 4 copies of the book I pledged for, which only happens if he reaches his goal. If you don't want to go on Kickstarter, send me $25 for each copy of the book you want and I will add it to my pledge.
