In many of our school systems across the United States we require
our students to reading books like the “Red Badge of Courage”. While that has it historical roots I think it
would bring a better view point and a shot of reality to our youth if they also
read “Tough as They Come”. This would bring
to light to many of the young people today why we cherish our freedom so much
and what we are willing to defend our country for. This book would provide a view point of a real
combat soldier who knew what the risks he was taking to protect our country of
millions of people he never knew or meet.
While serving his country, he was gravely wound and tells not from a
general view point but his personal experience the pain, struggle and necessary
support that is needed. We need to bring
to light the reality of war, the commitment need to protect the country and the
horrific price some must pay. I think
this would be an excellent book not just for the youth of America to read but
everyone. It helps to bring you back to true
roots of why we defend our country and the men and women we honor in doing
so. If you only read one book this year
let it be this one.
I received a free copy of this book from WaterBrook
Multnomah in exchange for my honest review of this book.
