Feel the fear of incoming rockets, the sound of helicopter medevacs bringing more "Alpha" patients, the adrenaline of responding to mass casualties, the "Angels" of death. Personally experience how U.S. Navy nurses train for war at the military's premier trauma training center in Los Angeles, California to U.S. Army combat training at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Be at the bedside during poignant nursing encounters with injured U.S. and Coalition heroes, Afghanistan children, and the enemy Taliban in a state of the art trauma hospital in the Kandahar, Afghanistan theatre of war. Eat at Friday's on the boardwalk, dodge more mortar rounds and ride along on a medevac that sends the author to Landstuhl, Germany as a wounded warrior. Join the rehabilitation and return to the war, be at the reunion back stateside, and the chaotic journey forward with PTSD. This gripping, heartbreaking, enlightening, and uplifting story demonstrates, with humor, that no obstacle is too great to tackle and that life is truly a journey.
