Ross served as the Company Commander for Fox 2/7 during their deployment to Now Zad, Helmand Province in 2008. As an enlisted Marine and as a Marine infantry officer, Ross completed multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. In this interview, he tells us about the good, the bad, and the not-so-sexy – and even the humorous moments that can be found in the surreal, chaotic landscape of war. He reminds us that the most awesome examples of leadership often come from our most junior warfighters.

15 Years of War, by Kristine Schellhaas
https://www.amazon.com/15-Years-War-Affected-Military/dp/0997090804
“Less than 1% of our nation will ever serve in our armed forces, leaving many to wonder what life is really like for military families.
“He answers the call of duty in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Pacific; she keeps the home fires burning. Worlds apart, and in the face of indescribable grief, their relationship is pushed to the limits.
“15 Years of War: How the Longest War in U.S. History Affected a Military Family in Love, Loss, and the Cost Of Service provides a unique he said/she said perspective on coping with war in modern-day America. It reveals a true account of how a dedicated Marine and his equally committed spouse faced unfathomable challenges and achieved triumph, from the days just before 9/11 through 15 years of training workups, deployments, and other separations.
“This story of faith, love, and resilience offers insight into how a decade and a half of war has redefined what it means to be a military family.”
