O knihe

We Also Serve: A Family Goes to War chronicles the effects of two wars on a marriage,
on a mother, and on her entire family. In 2004, Nanette Sagastume's son is sent to Fallujah, Iraq with the same battalion, company, and platoon that his father served with in Vietnam. To a degree not possible in previous global conflicts, modern
technology virtually inserts her into the war. When a suicide bomber attacks the platoon, she and her family experience a deep soul wound.

In We Also Serve, Nanette explains what it
is like for a mother when her son joins the military just as the country is catapulted into war. She recalls in intimate detail the toll the war took on her relationships with her husband, family, and friends. She also discusses the effect the Iraq War has on her husband and his Vietnam veteran friends. When the two generations of warriors come together, the tale becomes one of hope and healing.

"As a warrior, I found We Also Serve: A Family
Goes to War to be a gripping, unforgettable
story of a military family's emotional survival through two wars."

-Colonel Billy R. (Bill) Duncan, USMC,

Ret. Commanding Officer of 2nd Battalion,

1st Marines in Vietnam in 1968
