Summary:

A deeply moving story of a writer's journey that shares a rare inside look into the protected world of our military. From the humble beginnings of growing up in a town built for returning war veterans in New York, during the Vietnam War; to her first deployment as an embedded writer with the United States Marine Corps in Iraq - this story is an experience that will certainly change your view of America and our military. It is a powerful, moving story filled with humor, personal growth and one American's view of what it is to be an American during wartime. Kilbride describes in vivid detail her realizations about life, politics and her fellow American's upon her return. Follow her as her view changes and she challenges the "truths" she thought she knew. Rich depictions of life in Washington DC among the movers and shakers are interspersed with stories of what is right and wrong with our country. Her epiphanies continue as she tours Vietnam with veterans of that war, as they go back for the first time. The journey provides not only a rare, but truthful look into the inner workings of our military, our media and our political system.
