“A riveting collection of deeply personal, unflinching, inspirational vignettes about the extraordinary Americans who served during the wars of the post-9/11 era, then transitioned to civilian pursuits in a country seemingly untouched by war. All Americans should read this book; those who do will conclude, as I have, that the people who raised their right hands and took an oath of service to our country in the years after the 9/11 attacks surely are America’s new Greatest Generation.”
Leroy Petry, Medal of Honor Recipient, Master Sergeant, US Army (Ret)
“I started reading these stories and soon realized these were the people to my right and left, some in front of me, some behind me, many of whom I never met, but whose persona mirrors so many whom I have. As they ride life’s roller coaster, they all share a common bond: leading a life of service to others, helping others by sharing their own experiences so that we may learn and identify ourselves.”
John Wayne Troxell, SEAC (Ret), 3rd Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
“The Twenty-Year War is a must-have for anyone looking to understand the men and women who selflessly prosecuted the Global War on Terrorism. Dan Blakeley, Beau Simmons, and Tom Amenta’s masterful showcase of these warriors through photography is an awesome tribute to these veterans, their legacies, and America.”
Mike Hall, Command Sergeant Major, US Army (Ret)
“The Twenty-Year War is a reflection of America. It’s about men and women who believe in something bigger than themselves. More than anything else, they are people who care about others... These are people who do. You’ll see, and learn, a little about yourself in these stories.”
