Service : a Navy SEAL at war
The author, a Navy SEAL, returned from his star-crossed mission in Afghanistan with his bones shattered and his heart broken. So many had given their lives to save him, and he would have readily done the same for them. As he recuperated, he wondered why he and others, from America's founding to today, had been willing to sacrifice everything, including themselves, for the sake of family, nation, and freedom. In this book, we follow the author to Iraq, where he returns to the battlefield as a member of SEAL Team 5 to help take on the most dangerous city in the world, Ramadi, the capital of war-torn Al Anbar Province. There, in six months of high-intensity urban combat, he would be part of what has been called the greatest victory in the history of U.S. Special Operations forces. We also return to Afghanistan and Operation Redwing, where he offers powerful new details about his miraculous rescue. Throughout, he reflects on what it really means to take on a higher calling, about the men he's seen lose their lives for their country, and the legacy of those who came and bled before.

\"We're pushing hard. We're getting back into it. The way I've been putting it is we've starved the market for a few years now, so it's time to get back on our game,\" SFC Director Kevin Ullestad said. \"We'll be making many more announcements as we're firming up other shows that are coming in for the next few months.\" \"They gave me the wrong ordinance,\" she said, \"because the ordinance I fall under said (the sign) had to be within our property line, which is east of the sidewalk; however, if you have an awning attached, it's OK\" to have the sign hanging over the sidewalk. \"The only place where we were wrong is (the sign) should have been 2 inches higher up.\" \"We'd like to see however we're treated, everyone else should be, too,\" she told aldermen. \"I'm not saying you have to remove them all; I'm just saying, let's be fair.\"
