Off to the Skies - Man Behind the Uniform

This story is a work of fiction but its spirit draws deeply from the truth that lives in the hearts of countless individuals who choose a life of service to the nation. It is not based on any single person or event yet it echoes the experiences of many—their dreams their dilemmas their sacrifices. In telling this story the aim is not only to narrate a tale of love loss and duty but to offer a tribute to the countless men and women in uniform—and their families—who live a life most of us only read about.Service to the country comes in many forms. For some it is in the battlefield; for others it is in the quiet perseverance of public duty in the dedication to ideals larger than themselves. But one truth remains constant: behind every uniform is a human being. A person with a family a heart and a story. This narrative shines a light on the man behind the uniform—a son a husband a father—who wears the weight of national responsibility while carrying the tenderness of his private world within him.
