While nothing compares to hearing an author speak their own words, Shawn Compton did an excellent job telling these stories of camaraderie, bravery and practical jokes. There were many parallels to civilian life and Jimmy Blackmon was gracious enough to leave space for us to make those connections ourselves as he recounted his time in Iraq. You feel the respect Jimmy holds for his team and his recollections of his life to that point in time consistently add texture & value to the story. Well done!
