Book Description

Alice Baratone brings you into the realm of our military heroes and their families through her poetry, along with our heroes accompanying pictures. The poems were written from either her thoughts and feelings as a Marine Mom, or from the thoughts and feelings of others in our military family. Whether you are currently serving, deployed, a family member of a fallen hero, a military family member, or a patriotic citizen of the United States, there is a poem that will touch your inner soul. In this glorious nation, our heroes lay their lives on the line everyday, and there are those who give the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Family members keep the fire burning at home waiting for loved ones to return. For the family members of our fallen heroes, they possess a courage and inner strength that is felt by all who come across their path. The military life is filled with fears, tears, laughter, joy, and the utmost pride to be an American. This is not just a book of poetry and pictures, but a book that will bring understanding and pride towards our country's heroes and their families. Many of the pictures were submitted with honor and pride from those who know Alice Baratone, (many simply call her, Mom B.). Alice Baratone's mission through her poetry is to honor and ensure that our military and their family members will never be forgotten. From the serious to the light-hearted, Alice Baratone proudly shares a few poems that adorn the book. Take a moment to read and delve into the pride of being an American.
