LONGWOOD, FL-Wartime communication is especially poignant and stirring. It is also the best perspective from which one can judge a conflict without bias or politics. Carol J. Posner’s Ordinary Patriot ($10.99, paperback, 978-1-60266-589-7) gives a view of the War on Terrorism not only from the perspective of her son, Jesse, a soldier in the armed forces, but also his Christian family. This must-read title truly puts flesh on this chronicle that so many families in the United States are going through right now. And, Posner believes, by sharing the experiences of what one family suffered, learned, and gained, others in similar situations may find comfort, strength, and healing.
Upon receiving a copy of Ordinary Patriot, President George W. Bush wrote, "America continues to be inspired by the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of your son, Jesse and all our men and women in the Armed Forces."The War on Terrorism has touched nearly every life in our country in one way or another. In this climate of political change it is still important for our political candidates and the voters to remember our freedoms, our values, and those who fought and continue to fight to make them possible.
A wife, mother of three, kidney transplant patient of 32 years, and a victim of violence, Posner shares her life’s experiences with readers in the hopes of reaching out to others who are hurting. And, she says, Ordinary Patriot is more than just a simple war memoir. "These eyewitness accounts represent an emotional and spiritual battle that transcends mere historical significance," she says.
