- Summary
- As we are becoming increasingly aware of the struggles that await veterans on the home front, this collection of essays reflect the experiences of those touched by war-- from the children of veterans who encounter them in their fathers' recollections of past wars to the young men and women who fought in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan. The diversity of perspectives validates the experiences of our veterans and their families, describing their shared struggles and triumphs while honoring the fact that each person's military experience is different.
