"Too often, those who do the most for us are supported the least. Military fathers certainly fall into this category. Brott's wonderfully informative book is not only a much needed salute to the importance of these unique dads, but it is also a field manual for their most important front of all—the home front."
—Roland C. Warren, President, National Fatherhood Initiative
"As an Army brat I know firsthand that its not only our military men and women who serve the country—their spouses and children serve proudly as well. This wonderful book is a great resource with useful checklists and advice that covers every stage of childhood. It will help ease what are difficult journeys."

I first purchased this book to use as a basis for my work with children of military parents. The book's content was insightful, well organized, and thorough. I felt the book was so helpful, I purchased several copies and sent them to my son, who is a military officer to present to his men."
