What is a veteran, anyway?

"This illustrated book is designed for teachers, parents, and children of all ages to be able to witness and understand the sacrifices veterans make and the camaraderie they experience. In a simple format, this book emphasizes what veterans go through on a daily basis. The text is based on the author's 15 years of service in the U.S. Army, including a one-year tour in Baghdad, Iraq during the first year of the war."--Provided by publisher.
