"The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday: Fighting the War on Terrorism" is a collection of stories, essays and politically incorrect commentary by and about the Marines fighting terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is a "must read" for all Americans who want to know what is REALLY going on over there. Included are reminders of how we became involved in the global war on terror, profiles of the heroes we don't hear about on the news, and tributes to some of our fallen warriors. The letters and e-mails upon which some of these stories are based show how our troops feel about being in harm's way - and show that we still "make them like we used to." It was a privilege compiling these compelling stories of the new "Greatest Generation." (Includes some stories previously published in "Swift, Silent and Surrounded" and "The Older We Get, The Better We Were")
