Discover how one family’s experiences illuminate the journey from peacetime to wartime and the very human cost of global conflict. Through moving anecdotes and deep insight, the author pays tribute to those who served and invites us to reflect on the enduring impact of war—and the vital role citizens play in shaping our future.
