Valiant and selfless men and women have fought and died for our country for centuries and they continue to fight for us today. Hugh A. Samuels, a twenty-one-year retired master sergeant of the United State Air Force, honors these individuals who gave themselves so willingly so that we may have freedom. This book of poetry not only exemplifies Samuels thoughts and observations of life overseas, but it also gives a voice to soldiers who cannot air their views on the military situation in Iraq for fear of retribution. Samuels shows us with his gentle, kind, loving words the courage, patriotism, and love these men and women have for our country.
