I cannot put into words how much I needed this book. While I've never been in the military or shot at, the courage, spirit, and heart of Remember the Ramrods is front and center and applicable to anyone. By sharing his struggles, David Bellavia will help an untold number of people and Remember the Ramrods will possibly have a greater impact than anything done on the battlefield.

My sincere thanks to David Bellavia, Mariner Books, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of Remember the Ramrods.

Bellavia greatly demonstrates his skills as a writer once again in this homage to his unit of which he served alongside. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every account of the “Ramrods” that Bellavia served with in Iraq. There were even points where it felt like I even knew these men which speaks to the power that the author’s writing has on the reader. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is also interested in the generation of soldiers who stepped up to serve during this most recent series of conflicts.
