"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."
—Linda Powell, daughter of General Colin Powell, US Army Ret., former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
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."

"Fantastic resource! We give a copy to each deploying Marine--and another to his family. It's filled with information and tips to keep those family connections strong during difficult times."
—Robert, XO, USMC
"Buying this for my husband was the best investment I could ever have made in my family. It helped his stay connected to our kids while he was gone--and helped me stay connected to him. Highly recommended.
