Letters to Sis: Memoirs of a Soldier - Softcover

Letters to Sis originated from the letters I wrote my sister, Marisa, from when I first enlisted into Army,to her death, following a short and fierce battle with breast cancer. Over that 9 year period I was stationed overseas; beginning with the fall of the Berlin wall. Next, I deployed to the Persian Gulf War for Operation Desert Storm. Then, I went to Bosnia-Herzegovina, (the former Yugoslavia) for peacekeeping operations. And Finally, I went back to Germany as security for the U.S. consulate in Frankfurt. When I retired from the Army I thought I could use the letters to memorialize my sister, as well as chronicle those years in a memoir. Ultimately, I wanted to share with my daughter the unique, worldly, and sometimes unwise experiences in my life, as well as tell her about some good people we lost along the way and how a very special person helped me through it all.
