Read straight from the heart through the eyes of Terry A. Roberts' hand written letters home to family from the front lines as he relays his fears, frustrations, trials and triumphs. This work chronicles the gritty and often harsh expedition of one man in three wars as both an enlisted Marine and later as a Navy/Marine Corps Chaplain with the ever present Hand of God leading his every boot step. This patriot odyssey begins with the rigors of Marine Corps boot camp in Parris Island, South Carolina and from here it journals his journey through the dirt, dust, mud and mire of various deployments to include the first Gulf War in 1990-91, to the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan with tributes to fallen brothers-in-arms and a family military heritage going back generations to the American Revolution.
