For Love of a Soldier -- A Powerful New Book By MFSO Member Jane Collins
For Love of a Soldier contains
the stories of 29 people, most of them members of Military Families Speak Out, whose family members—spouses, siblings,
children—are serving or have served in the American military during the
Iraq War. The families tell their stories and explain why they believe
that taking action to end American military involvement in Iraq is the
best possible way to support the troops who are so dear to them.

grandchildren who have served or are currently serving in Iraq, the
parents who have formed an organization of anti-war families, parents
whose children have been killed or maimed in the war, and parents whose
children have committed suicide after returning home from the war.
