"For it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped ...by the flag...” - Zell Miller
Given that today is Veteran's Day, I thought it would be a good time to share a wonderful new fathering book by America's "Mr. Dad" - Armin Brott!
First, though, I wanted to say "Thank you!" today and everyday, for the brave men and women of the United States who lay down their lives, and put themselves in harm's way for our freedom everyday, and for all those who have served in the past, to insure our freedom in the future!

If you love your freedom, be sure to thank a Vet!
Okay, so the book, titled, The Military Father: A Hands-On Guide for Deployed Dads, provides extensive pre-deployment checklists and detailed tips aimed at preparing the dad and his family for separation and long-distance communication, explains how to stay involved and connected when you're far away, and includes specific strategies and activities designed to help dads and their family remain close across time and distance.
The Military Father also offers advice on post-deployment times from preparing to come home and surmounting the challenges of returning to military or civilian life.
In addition, the book includes a chapter on how dads can support a spouse when she's the one being deployed, and a comprehensive listing of resources available to soldiers and their families.
Excerpt from the website:
"Fathers today play a greater role with their families and children than ever before. However, military dads and dads-to-be are often separated from their families for extended periods of time. Unfortunately, there are very few resources for military (and deployed civilian) fathers, who are looking for guidance on how to be in close touch with their families back home. THE MILITARY FATHER, written by the country's leading authority on fatherhood, will fill that gap, providing deployed dads with everything they need to know to stay (or become) involved with and connected to their family regardless of the distance that separates them."
THE MILITARY FATHER includes cartoons that complement the text, solicited from deployed military or civilian fathers and family members, ranging from those on active duty to veterans.
Flavored with the author's trademark wit, warmth, and intelligence, this guide combines a wealth of knowledge from experts, scientific studies, and interviews with scores of military fathers and their families.
Thank you again, soldiers! God keep you safe.
