Deploying to Iraq and writing a memoir

Most often when Iraq War stories are told they are from a male veteran's perspective. In Jennifer's book, Calmed she writes not only her story but includes her husband's perspective of what being deployed together was like. When Jennifer put on her brother's Marine Corps uniform she stood a little taller and was inspired to look more into the military. She learned about the Army National Guard program that allowed her to attend Boot Camp between her junior and senior years of high school. Then she would complete AIT the summer after her senior year. She enlisted in 2001. Everything about what she expected the military to be changed on September 11, 2001. She ended up deploying to Iraq and we connected when I received her copy of Calmed. Calmed is a memoir written from her and her husband's perspective about their unit deploying to Iraq and their story after coming home.
