The first four novels in the series were awarded Gold Medals by the Military Writers Society of America. Buzz himself was honored with the MWSA’s highest accolade in 2023, the Founder’s Award. In 2025, he was selected as the MWSA's Writer of the Year. WHEN HEROES FLEW: THE ROOF OF THE WORLD, the third book in the series, in addition to garnering an MWSA Gold Medal, won the 2023 Nancy Pearl Book Award for genre fiction. The award is sponsored by the Pacific Northwest Writers Association. Buzz's fifth novel in the series, WHEN HEROES FLEW: WHERE THE DAWN COMES UP LIKE THUNDER, was released in February 2025.
