After graduation Milo sets aside his own dreams, enlists in the Army and through several Indiana Jones-type adventures finds his lifelong friend outside Fallujah.

Hard work, brotherhood, knee slapping male-humor and brotherly pathos carry the boys through changes from youth to manhood as they become living testimony that God’s grace and man’s compassion for his fellowman are reward enough to make any life worth living.

If Callie needs anything, you try your best to help her out. OK? And, whatever you do, don't tell Grandma that I'll be riding helicopters as gunner. She'll worry herself sick. Write to me everyday—promise?' 'I promise; just be careful—promise?' 'I'll be alright. Love ya, bud.' Connor squeezed him in his famous bear hug.

Risking life and limb, Milo goes to Iraq to rescue his friend. But when Milo brings Connor home, it quickly becomes apparent that things will never be the same.

Download or read book Travels in the Slavonic Provinces of Turkey In Europe Vols I and II written by G. Muir Mackenzie and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A travel journal written by two women journeying across the lands in what is now Albania and Yugoslavia, Travels in the Slavonic Provinces of Turkey-in-Europe (Vols. I and II) is an engaging book full of stories and anecdotes about the lands and peoples they visited. First published in 1866 and presented here with the original illustrations, Travels in the Slavonic Provinces provides a first-hand, detailed account of the people and places in early Slavonic countries; their cultures and customs. GEORGINA MUIR MACKENZIE (1833-1874) traveled extensively in the Slavonic lands in the mid-1800s. She and her traveling companion, Adelina P. Irby, would first travel to Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1858, and subsequently traveled southern Europe on five separate occasions. They recorded their experiences in the travel journal, Travels in the Slavonic Provinces of Turkey-in-Europe, and spent their time teaching girls and women who might not normally have gotten an education. Mackenzie married Sir Charles Sebright, British consul in Corfu, in 1871. ADELINA P. IRBY (1831-1911) traveled across the Slavonic provinces, educating girls and women and studying the Christian Slavs in the Ottoman Empire. She traveled with Georgina Muir Mackenzie in six separate trips until her friend died in 1874. Soon after, Irby traveled for the last time to Southern Europe, this time with Priscilla Johnston, establishing a girls' school in Sarajevo and becoming involved in relief work. Altogether, Irby visited at least 13 provinces, and co-wrote a travel journal of her experiences with Mackenzie.
