Saints at War: The Gulf War, Afghanistan, and Iraq

by Kenneth L Alford and Kenneth L. Alford

This volume is a compilation of inspirational stories shared by Latter-day Saints who served on the front lines in our most recent military conflicts. These stories detail their trials, challenges, setbacks, faith, courage, and their numerous victories overcoming extraordinary circumstances. This book is filled with remarkable first-person accounts from Latter-day Saint soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen, airwomen, and civilians who served in the Gulf War, the Afghanistan War, and the war in Iraq. Their amazing stories-published together for the first time-chronicle the sacrifice, dedication, and humor of day-to-day life in modern combat zones. This book also shares the story of how fully functioning districts of the Church were organized and operated in the war-torn countries of Afghanistan and Iraq to meet the spiritual needs of the Church members there. Richly illustrated with photographs from the participants, this book will introduce you to a new generation of Latter-day Saint heroes.
