I read this book when it first came out and have been looking for a copy for my shelves. I did cry a lot but it’s such a good book. ( )

I haven't read the book yet, but read an excerpt in The Week awhile back and heard the author interviewed on my local public radio station today. I was driving across town with tears streaming down my face, just from the excerpts he read. It was heartbreaking. I know it will be difficult to read, but I'm going to tackle it sometime anyway.

One of the best books I have ever read. As a military wife, I live in fear of getting the knock on my door. I cried buckets of tears reading this book. Everyone should read it. ( )

If you have not heard of the book, you might recall hearing about the author. His name is Jim Sheeler, the winner of the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing. When I picked up this book I immediately recognized it was the same Major Steve Beck that I had read about a few years ago, in my Sunday paper. Major Beck, a causality assistance calls officer in the US Marine Corp, had organized “Remembering The Brave” ceremony for the families in honor of their fallen loved one.
When you first pick this book up, chances are you will be drawn to the photographs. But once you start reading, connecting the names, the places and the people that this book is about , that is when you will understand why I had to read this book in stages. The stories are so personal that no reader will be able to continue with tear filled eyes. So be prepared to put the book down quite a bit.
I would recommend this as required reading for every American. It does not matter if you are for or against the war.This book is about the lives of those that protect ours. Please read this book. ( )
