Pediatrician Soldier : The Man the Kids Call 'Dr. Charlie' Goes to War

"Pediatrician Soldier" is the story of my experiences while deployed for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Understand how I felt leaving home, being sent off to war and preparing to die. The book describes this soldier's mobilization process and travel to a war zone in a foreign country. Learn about how this children's physician has cared for our troops who are just 'big kids'. Experience how so many troops have returned with mental health problems. Get to know about two soldiers especially - one fallen, Captain James McKenna killed my sniper fire while caring for his soldiers and one forever traumatized, Sgt. Daniel Tallouzi who because of a small piece of shrapnel from a mortar attack is now in an "eyes open" coma. Feel for those family members who don't know if their loved ones will return in a box, disabled or forever changed. Remembering past wars, look into the future and never forget tomorrow's children.
