During war, anything can happen. Newly married, Aurea Franklin moved to Hawaii and joined the U.S. Army, following the call of her silent freedom. After moving all around the U.S., she witnessed the attack on the Twin Towers. Soon after, she deployed to Iraq. In this memoir, Aurea details her time spent with the 101st Airborne Division Air Assault in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. She discusses life as a soldier-abroad and at home-and the triumphs and difficulties that come with it. Silent Freedom is a story about service, courage, love and loss, purpose, and faith. It will take you to the darkest corners of the war zone in Iraq while demonstrating how faith and hope for a better future can make a difference. During her service, Aurea received two Bronze Star Medals for meritorious service in a combat zone. She also holds three master's degrees and is a lifetime member of the Federal Asian Pacific American Council (FAPAC), previously serving as chairwoman of FAPAC's Mentoring Program and currently serving as Committee Advisor. She is a lifetime member of Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), and involved in many non-profit organizations.
