One weekend a month and two weeks each summer. For as long as any of them could remember, that was all it took for this small group of Tennessee National Guardsmen to serve their country from the comforts of home.

But in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, the active Army was spread too thin—and Uncle Sam called them into the game, transforming neighbors, co-workers and childhood friends into brothers in arms.

Deployed to one of the most hostile regions in Iraq to fight a faceless enemy, their most important mission was to make it home alive—until one day in August changed everything.
