Tough As They Come By SSG Travis Mills
This inspiring story about a soldier who survived quadruple amputee injuries. At the time the book was published, he was only one of five who have survived. Travis Mills is a unique individual who chose to overcome his injuries with enormous willpower and endurance. His story includes his deployments in Afghanistan and the missions he was involved in. After reading about the conditions in Afghanistan, I have an enormous amount of respect for all of our soldiers who serve there under those challenging conditions.
Travis Mills relates his growing up years along with how he met and married his wife, Kelsey. Again, you get an insight into what families of our soldiers have to deal with. Much of the book deals with Travis' rehabilitation and recovery. It is an inspiring story of a soldier who was driven by love for his family and his country to overcome enormous challenges. His story is both heart wrenching and honest and you cannot help to be inspired and encouraged by it.
I received this book for this review from Blogging for Books.
