A book about patriotism, the flag and defending our American love of freedom. Freedom is one of life's most precious commodities and yet it is always under attack. This is a new book in praise of the military and the men and women who guard our freedoms. With powerful quotes in tribute to veterans and service members by Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, George Marshall, Stephen Ambrose, and many others. An ideal gift. Lavishly illustrated with 90 photos of service men and women and conflicts from WWII to present day Ukraine and Afghanistan. Kirkus review.

"Veterans know better than anyone else the price of freedom, for they've suffered the scars of war. We can offer them no better tribute than to protect what they have won for us."  Ronald Reagan

"At the core, the American citizen soldiers knew the difference between right and wrong, and they didn't want to live in a world in which wrong prevailed. So they fought, and won, and we, all of us, living and yet to be born, must be forever profoundly grateful." Stephen Ambrose

Thus begins Why We Fight, a new photo-illustrated book on liberty and freedom and the values  we American's hold dear but against which we have a military to defend
 
Active-duty military personnel from all the branches provide powerful, very personal quotes on  service to our nation. With them are quotes in praise of service by Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, John F. Kennedy, Nelson Mandela, Elie Wiesel,  Warren Buffett, General George Marshall, and more. 

For every new recruit, every son or daughter  -- every vet, and every Member of Congress -- this book brings together in one timeless volume the reasons why we have a military --  and a tribute to those who serve.
