ANDREW ORNELAS MEMOIR: MY WARS

By Oric Maddan

Andrew Ornelas Memoir: My Wars is a raw, gripping, and deeply personal account of Andrew Simon Ornelas's 20-year journey in the U.S. Army, including five combat deployments that shaped his identity, tested his leadership, and revealed the brutal truths of war. From the adrenaline of first contact to the silent weight of survivor's guilt, Ornelas invites readers behind the curtain of military life-far beyond the medals and missions.

This isn't just a war story. It's a field manual for life, leadership, and resilience, forged in the heat of battle and carried into the quiet struggle of reintegration. Ornelas shares hard-won lessons on courage, loss, moral conflict, and the unshakable bond between soldiers. With brutal honesty and deep humility, he reflects on what it means to serve with honor, lead under pressure, and rebuild after war.

Whether you're a soldier, a veteran, a future leader, or someone who wants to understand what war really demands-This book offers more than memories. It offers meaning. And a message: the battle doesn't end when the mission is over.
