It was I must say it is very cleansing to write out your feelings as this is what I try to do to keep myself healthy. It seems that not everyone sees the courage and sacrifice you and other brave soldiers go through every day to make sure we are all safe. I greatly admire your courage and strength and more, that you help others to become more like you as a drill sergeant. Lisa Dear SSG Lonsdale,

I have read your book and was touched by your candid and revealing memoir of your experiences in Iraq. It was I must say it is very cleansing to write out your feelings as this is what I try to do to keep myself healthy.

Nice job of writing about your expierences that will also help other medics who serve. Welcome Home and best wishes in your career. I was a medic in Vietnam 1968-1969 with a Recon Platoon in the 9th Infantry. SSG Lonsdale, just finished your book and I agree it helps those suffering from PTSD.

My mom sent me a copy of your book a few months ago and I read it in one night. I was a medic with the 1-125th IN, 04-05. I've never been able to keep a journal, though I've tried. I didn't have a lot of contact with other medics during my tour and after only with cherries. Reading your book, identifying with your experiences, was very healing for me and comforting in a way. Thanks for sharing. SSG Lonsdale,
