Amazon Voice of a Soldier by Margaret Marr Category:  Military Publisher: Sunpiper Media Publishing ISBN-10:  097700502X Pages: 168 Copyright: May 1, 2006 Voice of a Soldier: Operation Liberty is an anthology that captures the heartfelt stories of our men and women who have served and are serving in the United States Military. These are stories of true American heroes given to the audience in their own unique and special voice. Stories in which the whole country is in desperate need of hearing. In the wake of 9/11, Americans were reborn into the unity that made this country so great. As the years have progressed, the rebirth of American unification has sadly slipped once again into political and partisan division, which is truly an insult to the men and women who've fought desperately for our country's rights and freedoms. Margaret Marr has produced an anthology that turns our focus away from politics and centers upon the very essence of what makes America the great nation it was destined to be…the heart of the American soldier. Without the brave men and women who have awakened and still awake each and every morning to serve, protect, and defend our country, there would be no American freedom. No voice, no dreams and no choice. They have fought to preserve our voice and it is time that we listen to theirs. It's time for our soldiers to be heard, from the lowest rank to the highest rank. Voice of a Soldier is a conglomeration of true stories, fiction, and poetry that represent the acts of bravery, tears, laughter, love, and friendship of American soldiers from past battles to present battles. They will make you laugh, make you cry, make you proud and make you think. Most of all, it exemplifies the true inspiration of the American soldier. Have you thanked an American soldier today?
