Reminisce with a Born and Bred American Soldier
BUFFALO, N.Y. (PRWEB) November 09, 2015 -- This Veterans Day, we honor those who have served in the military. However, it’s important to commend these extraordinary service men and women throughout the other 364 days of the year.
In “A Drill Sergeant’s Fame,” Kimberly Mae compiles comical, cunning and transcendent poetry to share her experiences while serving in the U.S. Army, and to give respect to her drill sergeants and those who served alongside her.
“After Basic Combat Training, soldiers become new beings, contracting their bodies out for the greater good,” Mae said. “Drill sergeants are incredible to take on the task of changing us for the better.”
In her book, Mae also includes journal notes about the specific events that inspired each poem, ranging from the challenges she faced while in basic training, to her experiences and thoughts while deployed in Afghanistan, to later finding solace in God and family.
Mae also hopes “A Drill Sergeant’s Fame” will spark readers’ thirst for life, urging them to see the good in the most challenging of times and to ardently pursue their ambitions.
“Many times in life, we have a definitive answer for what is a good, acceptable or bad outcome, yet we fail to see all of the other issues and possibilities in between,” Mae said. “Happiness and peace can creep through the darkest of situations in unexpected ways if we are open to seeing and understanding them.”
