The heart of a soldier : a true love story of love, war, and sacrifice

"Mike and Kate Blaise fell in love during high school in small-town Missouri. Sharing a deep sense of patriotism, they both entered the U.S. Army--she as a commissioned officer and he as an enlisted infantry soldier who later became a helicopter pilot with the Air Cavalry. Forced to accept the realities of a military marriage yet determined to stay with her husband, Kate passed up her dream assignment in the United States to be with Mike, who was deployed to Korea. But they never imagined a day like 9/11 or the military aftermath that sent them to Iraq, where Mike would lose his life in combat.--From publisher description."@en
