One Weekend A Month - My Ass!

This Book Is Written From A Collection Of Journal Entries I Kept During My Training In California Before I Went Overseas To Serve In Iraq Copies Of Letter I Sent Home To My Two Daughters And School That I Taught At When Activated As Well As Some Stories That I Wrote About My Experiences. There Are Some Facts That Are Incorrect In This Book But I Kept Them In Because They Were The Truth To Me At The Time. The Letters Are Mostly Word For Word As They Were Written And Sent. I Have Included Pictures That Go Along With My Writings That Help To Show As Well As Explain What I Experienced. I Have Changed Or Omitted The Names Of People To Protect Their Privacy. I Was Not A Hero Nor Was I Involved In Any Large Fighting That Took Place In Iraq. I Was Just A Fifty-Three Year Old Man Close To My Twenty-Year Letter For Retirement In The National Guard Who Happened To Be Sent To War In Iraq. I Dont Pretend To Be Brave Or Have Any Deep Meaning To My Experiences. I Just Want To Share An Average Story Of An Average Soldier In Iraq.Sgt. Joseph Berlin (Ret.)
