Dramatic, harrowing, and simply unbelievable images of the marines of Operation Iraqi Freedom, personal letters and stories then and now of coping with the pain of separation from their families and the horrors of war. Featuring the incredible photography of Russ Bryant (To Be a U.S. Army Ranger), who lived, breathed, ate, and slept alongside the Marines of the 2nd Force Service Support Group of Camp Lejeune, NC, during their deployment in Iraq and Kuwait.
