Women of War Jeff Dawson

I came up with the idea for this work when I was watching, "We Were Soldiers Once." The scene where Harold Moore's wife was going door-to-door delivering dreaded Wester Union Telegrams. It dawned on me that there are very few books devoted to the women who served, worked or waiting home for their men. To me, it is one of the most powerful cinematic moments in a war film. Our women, have served, worked, died and cried untold tears to help defend and preserve the freedoms of our great country. They truly are the backbone of our great nation.
