Download or read book Raising Men written by Eric Davis and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Eric Davis spent over 16 years in the military, including a decade in the SEAL Teams, his family was more than used to his absence on deployments and secret missions that could obscure his whereabouts for months at a time. Without a father figure in his own life since the age of fifteen, Eric was desperate to maintain the bonds he’d fought so hard to forge when his children were young—particularly with his son, Jason, because he knew how difficult it was to face the challenge of becoming a man on one’s own. Unfortunately, Eric learned the hard way that Quality Time doesn’t always show up in Quantity Time. Facebook, television, phones, video games, school, jobs, friends—they all got in the way of a real, meaningful father-son relationship. It was time to take action. As a SEAL, Eric learned to innovate and push boundaries, allowing him to function at levels beyond what was expected, comfortable, ordinary, and even imaginable, and he knew that as a father he needed to do the same with his son. Meeting extreme with extreme was the only answer. Using a unique blend of discipline, leadership, adventure, and grace, Eric and his SEAL brothers will teach you how to connect, and reconnect, with your sons and learn how to raise real men—the Navy SEAL way.

Download or read book A Letter from Dad written by Omar R. Taylor and published by Omar R. Taylor. This book was released on 2024-10-03 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm from a small town called Shreveport Louisiana" Cooper Rd" to be exact. Born in Parkland Hospital ( Dallas Texas) but all I know is Shreveport Louisiana. I wrote this book for my children and hopefully their children's children. Generation of my bloodline after I'm long gone. I didn't want anyone else to write or tell my story so I decided to do it and tell myself. Besides God, I was the only character there at all times. It wasn't easy growing up in them concrete jungles of Shreveport Louisiana. Poverty everywhere, as far as the eye could see. All we had was each other. We called it family. Everything was about prayer and God. Thunder and lightning outside don't make no noise. Take your hat off in the house and don't sweep nobody's foot with that broom. This book is for my children who I love with all of my heart and soul. I don't be around them like I wish I could because of their mom, but that's ok I'm learning to deal with it. It's not easy at all, half the time I feel broken. Depressed. The very reason for this book. I hope my son's grow up to be good well mannered men, and I hope that my only daughter grows up to be the angel that I always dreamed she'd be. I hope she takes her time and be patient. Daddy loves you. Always have and always will and there ain't nothing on this earth that you can do about it. Have fun and enjoy life. Remember God, and remember peace. Leave you all with just two little words:" Take Plenty"! Have no idea of where am at or where I'm going but I hope this letter finds all of you in the best of health. If God is with you, then who on earth can stand up against you. Peace

Book excerpt: Celebrating the role military families play in the success of America as well as their individual accomplishments, Military Kids Speak by former naval physicist and author Julie Rahm is a fascinating and inspired account of what it takes to be a military kid. It's a team effort with a common goal; the mission is to describe what it means to be a part of a military family, what it takes to persevere when it comes to deployments, and living abroad.

Being a military kid is special'a childhood spent with the military is an adventure.

Download or read book The Armed Forces and American Social Change written by Troy Mosley and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UnwrittenTruce is a powerful depiction of Black Americans’ struggle for equality told through the lens of uniformed military service. Mosley uses superb story-telling, personal vignettes, and historical examples to show how millions of Americans have lifted themselves from oppression through opportunities gleaned from military service. Collectively these efforts exerted positive outward pressure on American society and by in large has resisted all forms of social change. One of the unique aspects of combat is that rarely are Americans more equal than when thrust into harms way. It has been said there are no atheists in combat; similarly, racism, sexism, and homophobia quickly go by the wayside when under enemy fire.Yet in the 19th century and well into the 21st century, America’s military policies regarding the use of manpower could best be described as an awkward attempt to balance the requirement to win the nation’s wars while supporting a socio-political caste system. President Harry Truman signed Executive Order 9981 on July 26, 1948 in response to police violence perpetrated against Black veterans. His actions broke this trend and set the military on the path to true meritocracy. Today, retired general Lloyd Austin is the first black American Secretary of Defense in part due to the barriers broken down by men and women who served before him. The armed services fiercely resisted integration, gender equality, and LGBTQ equality but over time have grown to value America’s well spring of diversity as a strategic and operational advantage. Under the Trump administration many of the military’s policies supporting transgender inclusion were reversed, making the U.S. military one of many institutions caught in the ideological tug of war regarding social change, which is at the heart of the present day American polarization. For as far as America has come, we still have work to do for Truman’s vision of equality of opportunity to become a reality for all Americans. Join this thought-provoking narrative that celebrates the brave American military pioneers and challenges us all to continue the push for a better expression of America.
