There are parades and hurricanes, people getting high and some merely getting by, as well as the human sacrifices made, the losses endured, the hardships faced because of or in spite of some connection to the military. If you've served, you might recognize a couple of these characters, or their situations. Maybe you will relate to some because you're just like them or because they served in the same place you did. If you've never served, but have had contact with someone who has, you may find similarities between a character here and a person you thought you knew. Each [story] is different in the way it approaches the lives of these individuals at certain points of the modern era, but each will entertain you, and challenge, and stay with you. - from the Introduction, by Jeffery Hess, editor 6671049 16 4 2009 Home of the Brave: Stories in Uniform total:3|5:3| 3 15 5 1 5 0 false false Tue Jun 09 17:11:36 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 17:12:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 17 23:58:39 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 23:58:39 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed May 27 18:00:31 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 18:45:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 27 15:20:44 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 15:20:53 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue May 19 04:57:30 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 09:17:07 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6479820
