From basic training at Fort Benning to the ceremonial precision of the Old Guard, from the deserts of Kandahar to the mountains of Kunar, and from infantry combat to the quieter, complex world of counterintelligence and special operations support, this memoir offers an honest look at what military service gives, what it takes, and what it leaves behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoby writes with clarity and conviction about the bonds formed in uniform, the weight of combat, the grief of losing brothers, the invisible wounds carried home, and the families who serve in silence alongside those who wear the uniform. His story is not only about war, but about what war reveals: the strength of faith under pressure, the sacred responsibility of leadership, the burden carried by the one percent who serve, and the widening divide between the protectors and the protected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its heart, this book is a call to remember. It challenges readers to look beyond patriotic slogans and consider the true currency of freedom: sacrifice, duty, discipline, gratitude, and service. It honors the fallen, recognizes military families, speaks to veterans who still carry the weight of war, and invites every American to rediscover what it means to live for something greater than self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth memoir and message, \u003cstrong\u003eGod, Country, Family, Service\u003c\/strong\u003e is a testament to the values that shaped one soldier's life-and a reminder that those same values remain essential to the future of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eli Roby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798256125912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Eli Roby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52934446121141,"sku":"9798256125912","price":11.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/god-country-family-service-a-story-of-service-brotherhood-sacrifice-and-the-american-story-9798256125912","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
