Courage in Camouflage II is a follow-up to the first set of soldier stories published two years ago in the original Courage in Camouflage. Both collections are based on individual interviews with military veterans young and old from all across the United States.
Most of these brave men and women served considerable time in combat during sometimes historic battles in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Operation Desert Storm, Desert Shield, and the protracted fight against terrorism in the Middle East.
Most all have gone on to successful lives outside the military, but things they saw and did during wartime continue to haunt many to this day.
Florida native Gersao Gerson Moran, a former U.S. Army cavalry scout, described this day providing convoy escorts and security in Afghanistan:
I'm 5-foot, six (inches tall) and I had to carry this (wounded) 6-2 Marine on my back. I wrap his arms around the top of my vest, on the back side, and I start bear-crawling with him. While I'm bear-crawling, I'm praying, 'God, I believe in you (and) I believe in your son. I need a little bit of help right now.'
I could see all the shots peppering the ground all around me. An RPG hit real close and I got hit (shrapnel) on the backside of my shoulder blade while I was carrying him, but I didn't feel it. I get him to the truck and I'm exhausted. They start working on him and now I have to drive to this LZ.
We're driving maybe about a mile, two miles, where there's this big grassland. Everybody starts shooting toward wherever they're shooting at us from. The bird (helicopter) comes and we load him up, and he gets out safely. Then we go back into the fight.
Along with the soldiers, Courage in Camouflage II also includes stories told by military spouses and other family members, giving their perspective on living the military lifestyle and sending loved ones off to war.
Read this important book today and learn more about the brave men and woman -- and their families -- who help protect this great country.
