This fearless memoir is a collection of war stories that offer a glimpse into the life of RET SFC Vicki Davis. She fought for nearly 22 years-on the battlefield and off it. These battles included the troubles of failed family care plans, failed marriages, financial hardships, domestic violence as well as the inner conflict caused by a sexist system while she fought for her life in Iraq.SFC Davis could not have imagined how signing her life away at 18 would impact her three children in the future. The price they would pay and the sacrifices they would make during her service. The unspeakable hardships, trauma, and disappointments they would have to deal with. The real heroes are her children, who sacrificed their childhood, friends, and, most importantly, their only parent-their mother. However, she questions whether her children are struggling with PTSD because of everything they endured during her service. SFC Davis also talks of tales of love, of laughter mixed with blood, of the silent tears that became her life story.While penning this memoir, SFC Davis as well as her children faced unspeakable sexual abuse, domestic violence, and financial hardships. They dealt with many setbacks over the years. The chief of these hardships was the death of her oldest son.Humbly, she hopes this book can be a token of appreciation for her children, her fallen comrades, and other female veterans who have endured similar trials.
