Letters to Carson

Letters to Carson was written by a Marine Corps Veteran who honorably served for 8 years.

10 years later, after multiple combat tours in Iraq, brushes with death and an uncertain future... He chose to serve his community as a police officer and live a normal life. After getting married, while completing his master's degree, the next chapter began to write itself.

It was time to become a dad!

The news hits people in different ways. For him, he began to write letters to the son he would hopefully someday meet. In that process he started reflecting on his life and the journey that brought him to this incredible milestone.

Still struggling with PTSD, flashbacks and finding his purpose in life, he discovered the journal he kept while on tour in Fallujah, Iraq. The journal lay silent, dusty and at the bottom of his seabag as if he had just got home from war. This was the first time he read it cover to cover. It was at that moment he realized he needed to share his story with the one person who could pass it along...Carson!

This book is for anyone who is struggling to find their purpose. Letters to Carson was written to share intimate feelings and life lessons from a soon to be dad with his unborn son. Within the entries this Veteran father reflects on the struggles and hardship of war. While transcribing his faded journal he relives both the ugly side and the brotherhood of fighting in combat.

Letters to Carson a twisted whirlwind of thoughts, ideas, predications and epiphanies shared in a way that a young adult would understand. The final entries reveal something truly incredible that anyone would be left wanting to give their loved ones a hug!
