Synopsis

Did you ever wonder what the U.S. military soldiers thought as they were sent off to war after the 9/11 terrorist attacks? September 11, 2001 brought grief and heartache to every person in the country. The pain from the atrocities of that day was felt worldwide. While the world suffered with unanswered questions, massive defense efforts were underway, sending in our brave military men and women. For most, this was their first real experience being sent into harm’s way on such an epic scale. A compassionate flight attendant, who served on the largest military charter airline, distributed journals for the soldiers to share their thoughts and feelings, inspiring the crew with their words. With their families and jobs disrupted, and lives uprooted, they would write on the long journey to defend and protect… and on their way home, if they were so lucky. With their blessing and insistence, the soldiers requested these journals be published. It’s vitally important for people to have the opportunity to read how they felt, who they were, and what they missed out on in their daily lives. Most are unable to fathom what our brave soldiers went through… what they saw… what they lost. What better way to learn more about the hearts and minds of those willing to sacrifice everything, to protect us at home, than to read the words they wrote, themselves? These long flights became an insightful journey through the hearts and minds of those aboard, and is now a treasure for you to explore. For some, these are the last words they ever wrote.

Readers of Chicken Soup for the Soul will cherish the words in these pages.
