Product Description In her book Babies in Baghdad, the author addresses personal experiences common to today's military families, yet not unfamiliar to all generations who have ever loved, lived with, or lost an American soldier. The mother of a young United States Army officer shares excerpts, stories, and insight with the reader about the passion, pain, pride, and fear associated with supporting a loved one who is serving the United States in the war on terror in Iraq. Her mission is to help those families that have yet to serve our country and those who have already suffered greatly through the death of their own children in Iraq. Babies in Baghdad refers not only to the babies born in Iraq, but to our own babies who have grown up to be soldiers that live and die for the protection of Iraqi children. About the Author Babies in Baghdad refers not only to the babies born in Iraq, but to our own babies who have grown up to be soldiers that live and die for the protection of Iraqi children.
