For God & Country: One Chaplain's Perspective of War and the Life Lessons Learned

For God and Country is the story of a Band of Brothers, a unit of United States Marines, who faced some of the fiercest fighting of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the battle of An Nasiriyah – and subsequent events, and the life lessons we all learned. I am finally writing this account at the urging of a number of friends and colleagues who have heard, as well as for many, have lived, the accounts recorded in these pages. In all honesty, I initially refused these requests for fear that some would read the testimonies presented here and see them as too fanciful to be accurate.
