A Chicago Firefighter's first born son joins the Marine Corps just
out of High School. He decides to go "all in" and becomes a machine
gunner with the Thundering Third infantry battalion of the 1st
Marine Division. The United States is currently involved in two
wars. With his chosen military profession, the new grunt is destine
to be involved in heavy combat somewhere in the world. At the age
of twenty, the young Lance Corporal deploys to the hostile and
distant land of Afghanistan. The United States military death toll
is at a record high since the inception of "Operation Enduring
Freedom." While his son patrols the town of Garmsir in the Helmand
Province and fights on the border of Pakistan, Dad writes down his
thoughts. This book documents a father's daily concerns and worries
during his son's 6 1/2 month (felt like 6 1/2 years) tour of duty
on the other side of the globe.
