Sacrifice - All too real for a father and son!, Jun 20 2009
By Fire Guy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Great Conversation: Father And Son's Wartime Journey (Hardcover)
This book brings home the reality of what now appears to be at best a "questionable" war and its impact on real people. A father opens up his and his son's private lives as they experienced, each from their own perspective, service to our country in the US Army.A compelling, heart rending book that exposes what a soldier experienced growing up, finding a call to serve, and paying the ultimate sacrifice during the course of that service.
As a father of a son about to deploy to Iraq in a Stryker Brigade from the same base as Darrell Griffin, Jr., this book helped me to understand and prepare for that seperation and begin to come to grips with the totallity of what that does and might encompase.
May God continue to bless our troops in their service and Darrel Griffin Sr. and his family in their suffering and healing associated with his son's death.

Amazing, Sep 13 2009
By J. Hardiman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Great Conversation: Father And Son's Wartime Journey (Hardcover)
I was stationed in Fort Lewis and was assigned to the same company as Grif when he got back from Iraq before he volunteered to go again. I barely knew him but only heard great things from everyone in Alpha Company about him, this book is an amazing depiction of the outstanding man he was, I curse myself now for not getting to know him more when I had the chance. I recommend this book to everyone, I can't say enough good things about it.

Personal and poignant., Aug 31 2009
By MajorBolex - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Great Conversation: Father And Son's Wartime Journey (Hardcover)
This story interweaves e-mails, calls, interviews and a journal. It brings forth the conflict of a thinking warrior. Someone I discussed this with commented that it seemed to be "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Repair" for this generation.
