Note to the reader: Due to the sensitivities of the subject matter of this book, I have changed the names and identifying characteristics of some of the people in this story, including that of my wife and some of the military individuals involved. I have also altered names, locations, and military unit numbers to provide confidentiality to service members while telling this story. However, the names of several military personnel, including Colonel Morgan Banks and General Geoffrey Miller, have not been changed, as the public is already aware of their roles in the events that follow.
