Description

This is one woman's story of growing up in a military family and creating one of her own. The author traces her military roots back more than 100 years, from her grandfather's service on the Mexican border, through two World Wars, and up to the service of her husband and brother over the skies of Vietnam. She faced the challenges of all military families: frequent uprootings, long stretches as a single parent, children moving from school to school, often more than once a year. It took courage and dedication. Not all the heroes of military service wore the uniform.

Author Bio

Carolyn Clark Miller is the daughter of a World War II fighter pilot and the granddaughter of two Army colonels. Married to an Air Force officer for 20 years, she was a military dependent for the first 38 years of her life. This is her story of what it was like: the frequent uprootings; the years as a single parent; the changes in schools sometimes more than once in a year; the sorrows and the joys; the disappointments and the triumphs. Not all the heroes of military service wore the uniform.
