This tender and moving work by a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist is both a celebration of love and a devastating reminder of the human cost of the war in Iraq.
In 2005, First Sgt. Charles Monroe King began to write what would become a 200-page journal for his son in the event that he did not return from the desert in Iraq. He was killed on October 14, 2006, only one month away from completing his tour of duty. His son, Jordan, was seven months old.
A Journal For Jordon is both a father's letter to his son, a loving mixture of advice and autobiography and a mother's attempt to put those words into the context of her life and the love they shared.
