You have seen the movies. They never show this part.
War is loud, but the aftermath is louder.
This is not a hero story. It is a survivor speaking truth.
Jeffrey A. Sabins pulls you straight into the real fight, the one that begins after the last round is fired.
Five deployments. Iraq. Afghanistan. A Purple Heart earned the hard way.
Firefights, IED blasts, ambushes, and losses that never left.
But the heaviest battles came after the uniform came off.
The silence. The guilt. The memories that refuse to fade.
The struggle to be a husband, a father, a man again.
The war that followed him home.
This is not about medals or glory.
It is about survival, the kind that does not end when the shooting stops.
