Battle of Life

About the Book

Darkness always comes before the light. In our daily lives, how can we reach the light if we don’t know the way out? It is a constant battle every day to find the inner peace and the tranquility the heart wants—to be rid of this constant nightmare, the battle of life, to survive and reach peace. The sacrifices we must endure to survive and provide for your family. At the same time, your soldiers become your family, and you know the pain you must endure when you lose one of your family members. Too many soldiers have been lost. The price of freedom comes with a heavy burden. To endure that burden, you must be able to keep memories alive as well as continue to live in silence. The one place we must remember those brutal days with the taste of a very cold beer in honor of the fallen ones who sacrificed everything so we can be here.
