15 years of war

how the longest war in U.S. history affected a military family in love, loss, and the cost of service

First Savas Beatie edition.

by

"Less than 1% of our nation will ever serve in our armed forces, leaving many to wonder what life is really like for military families. He answers the call of duty in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Pacific; she keeps the home fires burning. Worlds apart, and in the face of indescribable grief, their relationship is pushed to the limits. 15 Years of War: How the Longest War in U.S. History Affected a Military Family in Love, Loss, and the Cost Of Service provides a unique he said/she said perspective on coping with war in modern-day America. It reveals a true account of how a dedicated Marine and his equally committed spouse faced unfathomable challenges and achieved triumph, from the days just before 9/11 through 15 years of training workups, deployments, and other separations. This story of faith, love, and resilience offers insight into how a decade and a half of war has redefined what it means to be a military family."--Provided by publisher.

Book Details

Table of Contents

Off to great places
Reality check
Back to his roots
Waiting is the hardest part
The adventure begins
Sun on my face, song in my heart
He put a ring on it
The hills are alive with the sound of marines
Going to the chapel
Go forth boldly
If you can't be safe, be deadly
This is war
Freedom isn't free
Down with the sickness
Going back to cali
Keep calm and aloha on
Together is a wonderful place to be
Creating a new destiny
A beautiful gift
Into the fire
Seeds of friendship
Weeds in the garden
Calling in reinforcements
Monster-in-law
Darkest before the dawn
Happiness is homemade
Pain is baby leaving the body
Back to the grind
Double the diapers, double the fun
In a van down by the river
Discovering rock bottom
Stranded in the desert
The cost of imperfection
Broken crayons still color
No distance is too far
War torn Afghanistan and the Taliban
The best way out is through
War pigs
Let go or be dragged
Every picture tells a story
They sicken of the calm, who knew the storm
Turning the page
Girl: a giggle with glitter on it
Smile because it happened
Grab a straw-because you suck
Hey I just met you and this is crazy. But she's my momma and I'm your baby
Be brave enough to start a conversation that matters
Don't look back "you're not "going that way:
Create the thing that you wish existed
Let the wild rumpus begin
Let's meet in our dreams
These sweatpants are the only thing that fit me now
The girl who smiles when her heart is broken
A rainbow of chaos
Run wild my child
Hold the vision, trust the process
The secret to getting ahead is getting started
Courage, dear heart
Be the voice for those who cannot speak
Purpose and a plan
There's no education like adversity.
