WHY I WRITE

I am a retired U.S. Army colonel with twenty-seven years spent on active duty. Half of these years I was deployed overseas and/or serving in command positions. So, I write about what I know; our military and its culture. I write because I want to be a mirror reflecting the honor, courage and integrity of those who are currently serving or who have served our country. For those who have not served, I strive to be a window through which you may look and learn about what military service entails.
