Description
In this book the author turns his focus from his own experiences as a combat-trained Navy SEAL to the nature of service on America's battlefields and the soldiers who give their lives to defend their nation and each other. Here he crisscrosses generations and service branches to clarify why people make the choice to serve their country.
