Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2003, after serving five and a half years as a carpenter in a North Dakota National Guard engineer unit, Bronson Lemer was ready to leave the military behind. But six months short of completing his commitment to the army, Lemer was deployed on a yearlong tour of duty to Iraq. Leaving college life behind in the Midwest, he yearns for a lost love and quietly dreams of a future as an openly gay man outside the military. He discovers that his father’s lifelong example of silent strength has taught him much about being a man, and these lessons help him survive in a war zone and to conceal his sexuality, as he is required to do by the U.S. military. The Last Deployment is a moving, provocative chronicle of one soldier’s struggle to reconcile military brotherhood with self-acceptance. Lemer captures the absurd nuances of a soldier’s daily life: growing a mustache to disguise his fear, wearing pantyhose to battle sand fleas, and exchanging barbs with Iraqis while driving through Baghdad. But most strikingly, he describes the poignant reality faced by gay servicemen and servicewomen, who must mask their identities while serving a country that disowns them. Often funny, sometimes anguished, The Last Deployment paints a deeply personal portrait of war in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book I Miss You written by Beth Andrews and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-03-05 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military families face stressful times that are unique to the military lifestyle. One of the most challenging situations, both for children and parents, is when a father, mother, or sibling is deployed for military service and must be away from the home. Children often experience sadness, anger, fear, anxiety, and loneliness, and they do not understand their own feelings or know how to express them. This book is designed to help children especially, but also their parents, during such difficult times. Based on many years of experience as a social worker, who has assisted military families experiencing stress, author Beth Andrews has created an excellent tool for allowing children and their loved ones to deal with the many emotions caused by deployment. The text and illustrations encourage children to discuss their feelings and to draw their own pictures to express themselves. The accompanying parents'' guide is designed to validate parents'' feelings and give them ways to help their children cope. Guided by this approach, a parent or caregiver can help their children understand why one of their parents or a sibling had to leave home, identify their reactions, cope with their feelings in a positive way, be assured that they are not alone, and try new activities to help themselves adjust. At a time when military families are asked to make many sacrifices in the service of their country, this reassuring book will be a welcome resource.

Book excerpt: The world has failed the Darfur region, but devious politicians and generals have figured a way to polish their ow images with no risk. They are going to use the National Guard. Sergeant Major Lucas Grant should have retired. Instead, he joined the Guard. The National Guard stands ready to provide humanitarian relief wherever they may be sent, but they never expected anything like Darfur. Grant finds himself in another shooting war, worse than anything he has known before. Islamic extremists want the country for Arab Muslims, the Sudanese Liberation Army wants it for African Muslims, and both sides want the Americans out. And there's a problem with one of their own soldiers. Based on current events in Darfur, American soldiers face the perils of helping the people no one cares about, and keeping each other alive while they do it.
