Veterans Day is a wonderful holiday for citizens to recognize the brave men and women who keep us free! This illustrated book is designed for teachers, parents, and children of all ages to be able to witness and understand the sacrifices veterans make and the camaraderie they experience. It emphasizes, in a simple-to-read format, what veterans go through on a daily basis. The aim is to allow children to relate their own life experiences to the everyday sacrifices veterans make, whether deployed overseas or training in peacetime. Most importantly, it is based on Robert Snyder's 15 years of service in the U.S. Army, including a one-year tour in Baghdad, Iraq during the first year of the war.
