SFC Dillard Johnson was a member of the Third Infantry Division during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He commanded a Bradley vehicle where, along with his crew, he was in heavy contact with enemy forces. After ending that tour of duty, he received a cancer diagnosis which he then had to fight. After recovering from his cancer diagnosis, he went back for another tour in Baghdad. He wound up earning a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, four Purple Hearts, a Presidential Unit Citation, a Meritorious Service Medal, a Joint Service Commendation Medal, six Army Commendation Medals, seven Army Achievement Medals, and numerous other awards.

His story is tense, emotional, and inspiring. I typically refrain from reading anything about the Iraq and Afghanistan situations for personal reasons that I am not going to get into here, but I found this book at the library and was drawn to it. This is a great book for anyone who is interested in the Third Infantry Division, Iraq/Afghanistan Wars, etc.
