The Essence of War

Tucker gives a thrilling account of the situation in Iraq. His story seems to drag on in the beginning, but towards the end of the story the detail is needed. Tucker makes the reader feel as if he is experiencing life in war. As a reader, I became close to all the people in the story. Truly a great piece of work by Tucker.

"Radio Free Wisconsin" Sgt Lybert Climb to Glory

For those who have read, reviewed or may read this book I would like to draw your attention to "Radio Free Wisconsin" Sgt Lybert. Dispute the quality of the book as any of you have free will to do, after all that's part of what our Soldiers sacrfice, provide you, your right to free speech.

I just want it noted along with all these reviews that after a year in Iraq "Radio Free Wisconsin" aka SGT Lybert most importantly my son, was promoted. SSG Patrick Lee Lybert of 3-71 Cav 10th MTN DIV (Recon)deployed to Afghanistan and was KIA 21 June 2006 near Gowardesh, Afghanistan. In a battle facing the enemy as they attacked, not giving one inch I am told by the soldier's he was in front of. My son, an American Hero sacrficed his life for America in a mountain valley far from my arms somewhere in Afghanistan.

I have both my son's copy of this book and the one Mike Tucker signed and gifted through my son to me. Sheepishly gifted I might add because he knew Mom doesn't like course language (although Mom has been known to let a bit fly under extreme stress).

Many of those men written about in this book, with those nicknames some of you poke fun at came from across country at their own expense, without my prior knowledge or personal request to bear my son to his resting place. " No one will touch Patrick but us" one of those men told me. The detail already here graciously yielded the carrying of my son to his Brothers in Arms, the Warriors he served with in Iraq.

Belittle their nicknames if you will, but realize the greatness of what they sacrifice for your freedoms. Acknowledge and take note that behind the title Soldier these men have mothers,fathers, siblings, wifes, family and friends. That my son, once my little boy with bright sparkling blue eyes, his smile wide and warm, a heart so big he had time for anyone is forever gone from me. All I have left are memories, fishing poles, hunting equipment,his ice shack ,his truck, my broken heart and empty arms. I want you to know he was real, warm, I love and I miss him. I want you to know he leaves behind parents, fiancee, brothers, the one younger brother has special needs and our soldier intended to become caretaker guardian for when I no longer could. What happens now? I have not yet found the answer.

Think of our shattered family and the many other families of the fallen when you read about our soldiers. This is not a game. Their sacrifices, the risks they face are real.

Thank you Mike Tucker for giving me an insight (even if there are cuss words but he apologized for them :)). You wrote in my book "To SGT Lybert's Mom, Whose son is brave, tough and smart. Long life and blue skies." One of the last photos taken of my son SSG Patrick Lee Lybert is of him standing a top a mountain in Afghanistan with nothing but blue skies behind him. Blue skies as blue as his eyes.
