“You’re the frontlines–no matter where or how you serve.”
It began as a personal memoir for her son. Reflecting on her ten years of post 9/11 military service, Marjorie K. Eastman wanted to capture the lessons and inspiration she’d learned serving beside women and men who represent the perfect of what it means to be American. And these service members represent just 1 percent of the American public. Eastman identifies this group as the Frontline Generation and notes it is an untapped reservoir of leaders–now back in our communities–who have been strengthened by the unique difficulties of post 9/11 service.
The compelling journey of Eastman’s time in uniform culminates in her final assignment, when she used to be responsible for the lives of over 100 troops–women and men–scattered all over Eastern Afghanistan. Her first-person account of that time is a moving story from personal commitment to the conviction that service–no matter where or how–is the most efficient path to success. She offers lessons on life, leadership, service, and the way for every person to find a role in them.
Eastman’s journal entries further reveal frustrations, inspiration, joy, heartbreak, laughter, purpose, unravel, and the remarkable ways service members came together to solve problems and break boundaries. She defines the legacy her Frontline Generation leaves on this country, and encourages readers to take into accounts who they wish to be, how they may be able to make a difference, how they may be able to make their lives count. Service is the key.
The Frontline Generation
abounds with wisdom, compassion, and humor.
