Nature's Grace is a stark reminder of the costs of war and an equally powerful glimpse into the healing powers of our country's greatest treasure--its recreational wildlands. Eric Blehm bestselling author of The Last Season, Fearless, The Only Thing Worth Dying For, and Legend Soldiers themselves are reluctant to evaluate the costs of war, but someone must. That evaluation, ongoing and unadulterated by politics, may be the one thing a country absolutely owes the soldiers who defend its borders. Sebastian Junger, author, journalist, documentarian While we can never do enough to show gratitude to our nation's defenders, we can always do a little more. Gary Sinise, actor/performer in Lt. Dan's Band We need to find a way to get these guys back into life, and I think outdoor recreation is a good route. Conrad Anker, mountaineer, author, and filmmaker
