Overview

In the Army, men and women are trained to be physically fit, disciplined, and calm under pressure to handle the rigors of a soldier's regimented lifestyle. Training that should lend itself to the unforeseen demands of a combat zone. However, for one soldier in Iraq in 2004, nothing could have mentally prepared him for one dark flight over Iraq. It all started as a simple four-day vacation pass; a brief escape from the mental and physical demands of modern warfare and a chance to fly out of Iraq for some well deserved R&R. It was supposed to be the perfect chance to catch up on his personal time. This lone Army Captain would soon be tested like never before when the plane that he was being transported to his R&R destination in suddenly changed course. Although he found that his flight was rerouted to pick up human remains, he didn't yet see that his outlook on life was also about to alter course. The time he would spend in the back of a cargo plane with three flag-covered caskets would take him from being inconvenienced and angry, to honored and inspired. With his deep and insightful writing style, readers will experience the heartfelt gratitude, pride, and undying patriotism experienced by American soldiers that are bonded by war. This is not the typical 'shoot-em-up' warrior novel. On the contrary, it is far deeper than that!
