Review
""As a true patriot and supporter of our nations heroes, Dr. Hall has taken the time to help military families understand the unique challenges that attend military service. While we, as a nation, honor our soldiers, there is a growing need to offer them additional support to have successful marriages and families in light of the unique stressors they endure while putting it on the line for their country. What about pre-deployment and post-deployment? What about dealing with the reality of conflict and survival? What about the “mission” of returning home? Dr. Hall has provided answers to these and other relevant questions in this book....have a look."" -Mark Mauzy, PhD
