Kelly Eads grew up in Cameron, MO and joined the US Army as an infantryman after high school. He deployed twice to Iraq, supporting counterinsurgency and counterterrorist operations. He was awarded as a Distinguished Member of the 502nd Infantry Regiment, a designation that he holds close to his heart. He lives in Kansas City with his wife and their two children. Kelly continues to serve his nation and community as a police officer, where he focuses on the safety of the areas he works in and still assists in counterterrorism efforts. Daniel S. Morgan graduated from Georgetown University in Washington, DC with degrees in national security. He retired as a US Army Colonel in 2018. Dan deployed worldwide to multiple combat operations at every level. In the 1990s, he supported counternarcotic strategy and operations across the globe. He is a published author on leadership, military strategy, counter narcotics, and US policy. Today, Dan works in the defense industry, providing cutting-edge sensing technology across space, air, land, and maritime domains.
"Interesting examination of modern counter-insurgency warfare."--
"Historical Miniatures Gaming Society"
"...will give readers a feeling for what it was like to fight in
the Global War on Terror and the kind of young people who stepped
forward to do it."-- "On Point: The Journal of Army History"
"The authors are both Iraq War veterans, with Eads a veteran of
this unit covered in this book. The work is an intimate and
well-done memoir of one unit's experiences in Iraq."-- "Military
Heritage Magazine"
"...a page-turner that reads like a novel, made better by the fact
that it is true. This is a story about faithful and selfless
service to the nation, the valor of America's 21st century warriors
and the sacrifices of the families at home."-- "ARMY Magazine"
"The ending is really why you should read Eads and Morgan's work
because it shows the costs of long and multiple deployments."--
"Musings on Iraq"
