A Powerful Story of Truth
This book details the heroism and battle that many service members bring home from combat. It's a great read for soldiers and anyone who knows them.

Fascinating Insight into the Life Altering Damage Caused by PTSD
This is an unvarnished real-life account of Donald Dunn's journey and the devastating effects of PTSD. Mr. Dunn describes the isolation, both perceived and real that is caused by going to war. I had long suspected that the constant redeployment of the same individuals over and over in the Gulf war was taking a toll on them. Reading this only confirms that this was exactly what was happening.The author's description of the range of extreme emotions that are born from the unrelenting pressures of war is touching and revealing. Between the unimaginable psychological stress and the destruction it causes to personal and family relationships, it is amazing that any of these people can go on with their lives.He leaves us with the following words of wisdom: “Throughout this journey, I’ve come to understand the significance of being present and cherishing each moment, as life’s beauty frequently exists in these fleeting instances.”

Great reminder
An easy read thats a reminder of the sacrifices that veterans make here and abroad to protect this nation. A testament of Resiliency and the dedication required to survive years at war and the battle fought here at home after.

Eye opening
Don is a good friend and brother, and after reading his book it opened my eyes to what him and his military brothers go through on a daily basis. It is a good read and helped this civilian start to understand some of the issues our veterans and current military are dealing with.

Echoes of war, Donald Dunn

It’s helping our household
This book really opened my eyes. Living with a veteran with PTSD, and working to maintain a positive and supporting relationship is a challenge. It’s helping me understand that I might recognize an emotion in a vet, but cannot relate to the root or cause of it. I appreciate him facing the struggles of being open for his audience. I think everyone should read this!
