When night falls on another Veterans Day, when the leftover chicken
waits in plastic tubs for a quick breakfast the next morning, and
the confetti is swept from the streets, and the flags are folded in
tight triangles; when the holiday ends, most of us get on with our
lives. But for those warriors who carried an M14 along a jungle
trail, who patrolled the streets of Fullujah or Bagdad, who
developed the skills to survive and return to us, for those
combat-seasoned men and women, life does not exactly just go on. My
Life with a Wounded Warrior is the true story of the joys,
challenges, and lessons of living with Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder, or PTSD. This collection of deeply honest personal essays
shares Pamela Foster's twenty-five years of living with and loving
a combat Marine, a veteran of Vietnam. With humor and love and
respect, as well as with frustration and anger and sadness, Foster
lifts the curtain on the true cost, the individual cost of war, and
gives hope and joy and laughter to those who love their own wounded
warrior. The author will donate $3 from the sale of each book to
Freedom Dogs, an organization which provides PTSD service dogs to
combat veterans.
