Celebrate with me Silent Heroes, When Love and Values Are Worth Fighting for<\/em> and its 1 year anniversary from its publishing debut on Amazon.
Looking at war from the perspective of all those sucked into it, civilians<\/strong>, soldiers<\/strong>, military working dogs<\/strong>, MWD, and eve belligerents<\/strong>, Silent Heroes<\/a><\/em> is a narrative about the value of life and the necessity of combat; the terror of dying; the ordeal of seeing your loved ones and your platoon-mates killed in front of your eyes; the trauma of taking a human life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

“What I tried to convey through Silent Heroes is that all those impacted by war are, at the end of a fighting day, human being with dreams and families. A war’s consequences, like the shadow of a nightmare, reach far beyond the battlefield.
Perhaps being a woman that writes about war I couldn’t ignore my inner voice speaking for the daughter, the wife, and the mother in me.”<\/p>Patricia Furstenberg<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
