Soldier's Best Friend by Stephen Paul Stewart Pdf

Military working dogs are silently winning the war against the world’s deadliest insurgents; day after day saving soldiers’ lives in the most dangerous countries on the planet. Many have been rescue animals, neglected or mistreated by their owners before being given a new lease of life on the front line. From the featureless plains of Helmand and Kandahar to military bases in Germany, army dog teams work day and night to keep us safe but, until recently, their courage and sacrifice has not been fully understood or appreciated. Award-winning journalist Stephen Paul Stewart employs in-depth interviews together with years of research and frontline reportage to tell their gripping and emotional stories for the first time. ‘A fascinating insight into a little-known subject, A Soldier’s Best Friend is a moving and engrossing read.’ — Niall Edworthy

Super Soldiers by Jason Inman Pdf

A military veteran and comic book expert explores the link between superhero legend and real-life combat in this fascinating book. Comic book superheroes have been influenced by the true heroes of our armed forces for decades. From Captain America punching Hitler in the jaw on his first cover, to The Punisher’s tour of duty in Vietnam, there are countless instances when military history has crossed over to the pages of comic books. A veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, author Jason Inman re-discovered his childhood love of comic books during long days at the Tallil Air Base in southern Iraq. He started to wonder about the phenomenon of superhero service members. What kinds of soldiers were these fictional characters? And how were they changed by war? Super Soldiers looks at the intersection between war and pop culture to understand these questions and more. Each chapter revisits military comic book characters and compares them to personal stories from Inman’s military career; describing superhero soldiers from DC comics and Marvel comics, including lesser-known characters lost to time.

Easy Company Soldier by Don Malarkey,Bob Welch Pdf

Elite paratrooper Sgt. Don Malarkey takes us not only into the World War II battles fought from Normandy to Germany, but into the heart and mind of a soldier who lost his best friend during the nightmarish engagement at Bastogne. Drafted in 1942, Malarkey arrived at Camp Toccoa in Georgia and was one of the one in six soldiers who earned their Eagle wings. He went to England in 1943 to provide cover on the ground for the largest amphibious military attack in history: Operation Overlord. In the darkness of D-day morning, Malarkey parachuted into France and within days was awarded a Bronze Star for his heroism in battle. He fought for twenty-three days in Normandy, nearly eighty in Holland, thirty-nine in Bastogne, and nearly thirty more in and near Haugenau, France, and the Ruhr pocket in Germany. Easy Company Soldier is his dramatic tale of those bloody days fighting his way from the shores of France to the heartland of Germany, and the epic story of how an adventurous kid from Oregon became a leader of men.

You'll be taken through the art of painting pictures in peoples' ears, tearful encounters with lonely GIs, the civilan media's exploitation of attitudes during the Vietnam War, the thrill of encouraging young minds, and one man's methods of overcoming adversity.

Memoirs of a Soldier and an Ambassador for Christ by Lloyd C. Glover Pdf

This is a fabulous book that explores the life of Lloyd C. Glover, a soldier and an ambassador for Christ. This book covers sixty years of his life. It looks back at the start of his relationship with God and how his childhood, growing up as a young Negro kid in America, was awakened by the racial tensions of the sixties and seventies and was affected by the events of the Vietnam War. His faith was strengthened by his participation as a Christian soldier in the Gulf War, serving in the defense of the nation of Israel and, a year later, serving in the defense of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Come see how God turned a war situation into a learning environment that allowed Sergeant Glover the opportunities to serve as a soldier and an ambassador for Christ in the Holy Land and to see for himself the many historical sites in Israel like Capernaum, the Sea of Galilee, Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem. Lloyd Glover is also a pastor and founder of two international Christian websites and an online Bible training center. Journey with him as he discusses his Bible college days at World Harvest Bible College and how God had anointed him to do the work of the ministry. The purpose of his book is to remind believers about Jesus's Great Commission and to also challenge everyone to see where they fit in as an ambassador for Christ. Amen.

Soldier Dogs by Maria Goodavage Pdf

A leading reporter offers a tour of military working dogs' extraordinary training, heroic accomplishments, and the lasting impacts they have on those who work with them. People all over the world have been riveted by the story of Cairo, the Belgian Malinois who was a part of the Navy SEAL team that led the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound. A dog's natural intelligence, physical abilities, and pure loyalty contribute more to our military efforts than ever before. You don't have to be a dog lover to be fascinated by the idea that a dog-the cousin of that furry guy begging for scraps under your table-could be one of the heroes who helped execute the most vital and high-tech military mission of the new millennium. Now Maria Goodavage, editor and featured writer for one of the world's most widely read dog blogs, tells heartwarming stories of modern soldier dogs and the amazing bonds that develop between them and their handlers. Beyond tales of training, operations, retirement, and adoption into the families of fallen soldiers, Goodavage talks to leading dog-cognition experts about why dogs like nothing more than to be on a mission with a handler they trust, no matter how deadly the IEDs they are sniffing, nor how far they must parachute or rappel from aircraft into enemy territory. "Military working dogs live for love and praise from their handlers," says Ron Aiello, president of the United States War Dogs Association and a former marine scout dog handler. "The work is all a big game, and then they get that pet, that praise. They would do anything for their handler." This is an unprecedented window into the world of these adventurous, loving warriors.
