There is something special about hand-crafted wood furniture that adds an extra element of warmth to a home that generic or factory made furniture just can’t compare with. As a licensed craftsman and cabinet maker, I have had the opportunity to see that look of joy on a customer’s face many times when they first set eyes on a custom piece they’ve ordered from me. You don’t get that when you shop at the factory or the mall. You also won’t be privy to the designer’s or builder’s name or even where that piece of mall furniture or factory furniture was built.

The Inspiring Account of How a U.S. Marine Battalion Experiences God's Grace Amid the Chaos of the War in Iraq
"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.”
–Psalm 23:5
There are some places where you just don’t expect to find God. For the men of the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, downtown Baghdad was one of those places. Moving into the heart of Iraq and ever deeper into enemy territory, they found themselves face-to-face with the ruthless Iraqi Republican Guard and Fedayeen militia. But when the smoke cleared, God’s touch was clearly visible.
Serving as a chaplain to the U.S. Marines, Lieutenant Carey Cash had witnessed the miracles that began in the desert of northern Kuwait and found their culmination in one of the fiercest battles of Operation Iraqi Freedom. With vivid detail and gripping emotion, Lt. Cash gives a firsthand account of this amazing story–how the men of an entire battalion found God in the presence of their enemies.

A Table in the Presence:
Hazy dust settles, squinting my eyes through the clouds of life. Writing about before, during, and after my experiences of war because war doesn't end when leaving combat theatre. Writing about solutions, then shining a spotlight on the questions and concerns that would always be there no matter where I turned. This is "Fractured Reality" , a discussion by Dave Cecil.

A raw, unfiltered view of the early days of the Iraq invasion—and the haunting aftermath.
In a story taken from his personal war journal, a Marine infantryman tells the tale of Alpha Company's march into Baghdad and the capture of Saddam's palace. This is the hard-hitting, straightforward memoir of the brave Marines—the first boots-on-the-ground in Iraq—who paved the way with their blood, sweat, and tears. The story of the first American to die in action in the Iraq War. The account of innocent civilians killed in the crossfire. The private repercussions—how young Marines cope with violent death and killing.
In his own words, unpolished and unrefined, rich with the voice and flavor of a young Marine in first action, Jesse Odom, leader of Second Platoon's First Squad, gives us a memorable and poignant tale of innocence stripped away, of lives lost, of battle, bloodshed, camaraderie, laughter and grief. And finally—a type of healing.
Meet the Devil Dogs of Alpha Company, of The Fighting Fifth Marines—their heroes, their fallen in arms.

At turns poignant, funny, philosophical, and raw—but always real—The Wolves of Helmand is both a heartfelt homage to the Marine brotherhood with whom Biggio served and an expression of respect and love for the people of Afghanistan who ultimately trusted, shared, and appreciated their purpose.

At turns poignant, funny, philosophical, and raw—but always real—The Wolves of Helmand is both a heartfelt homage to the Marine brotherhood with whom Biggio served and an expression of respect and love for the people of Afghanistan who ultimately trusted, shared, and appreciated their purpose.
Ten years after serving his country as a U.S. Marine, Captain Frank “Gus” Biggio signed up once again because he missed the brotherhood of the military. Leaving behind his budding law career, his young wife, and newborn son, he was deployed to Helmand Province—the most violent region in war-torn Afghanistan—for reasons few would likely understand before reading this book.
Riven by conflict and occupation for centuries because of its strategic location, the region he landed in was, at that time, a hotbed of Taliban insurgency. As a participant in the landmark U.S.-led Operation Khanjar, Biggio and his fellow Marines were executing a new-era military strategy. Focused largely on empowerment of the local population, the offensive began with a troop surge designed to thwart the Taliban, but was more importantly followed by the restoration of the local government and real-time capacity building among the withdrawn and destitute Afghan people.
The Wolves of Helmand is unlike other war memoirs. It takes us less into the action—though there is that too—and more into the quiet places of today’s war zones. Yes, you’ll read of our Marines’ stealth arrival in a single night, our advanced weaponry, and our pop-up industrial village command centers. You’ll read, as well, about the ambushed patrols and the carnage of IEDs. But you will also read of the persistence, humility, ruggedness, loneliness, tedium, diplomacy, and humanity of our Marines’ jobs there, which more than anything else reveals the magnitude of even the smallest victories.
Completed years after the author’s return from his mission, The Wolves of Helmand is most of all a decade-long self-examination of a warrior’s heart, conscience, and memory. Whether intended or not, Biggio’s deep reflections and innate honesty answer every question you’ve ever wanted to ask about life and death in war—and even questions you probably never thought to ask.
What calls a warrior to duty?
What makes, sustains, plagues, and even breaks a warrior?
These are bigger questions than the ones impolite society pokes around when a veteran returns home—Did you kill anyone? Did you have to go? Why would you fight for another country? Why were we even there?
Yet the answers to those queries are here, too, in this thoughtful memoir that will make you think about war, family, love, and loss.
