Inspirational stories

Courage in Camouflage is a fascinating collection of stories based on individual interviews with military veterans young and old from all across the United States. Most of these brave men and women served considerable time in combat during sometimes historic battles in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Operation Desert Storm, Desert Shield, and the longstanding fight against terrorism in the Middle East. Most all have gone on to successful lives outside the military, but things they saw and did during wartime haunt many of them to this day.

Life-changing experiences

Mike O’Hara, a Massachusetts native who now lives in central Texas, survived three tours in Vietnam but developed a serious drinking problem that nearly killed him.“ After the first tour,” O’Hara says, “I learned (that) you don’t make friends – because then it hurts when they get killed. If you don’t make friends, and you just have acquaintances, then it’s just something that happens." Story after story like O’Hara’s clearly show the hardships these soldiers endure and the sacrifices they made to serve their country, and they did it with honor and pride.
