A Manuscript of Ashes by Antonio Molina

This book will take you on a journey through the Soldiers eyes. You will see the transformation of the Soldier's character from ordinary E4 Specialist to war fighting, get'er done type of Soldier who has a difficult time shutting off the combat war mindset. The Soldier story will show how 6 years at war 4 tours to Iraq lead to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD, and how he had to fight for three years to get medical treatment from the United States Army. The readers will see and learn the three types of PTSD group sessions the Soldier was involved in and what he has learned from it. The stories will take you on a journey on how difficult it can be when a war veteran retires from the Army and has a difficult time dealing with civilian life and lack of family structure and support and not to mention jobs.

The Book will show that despite the struggles from war and difficult time adjusting to civilian life, the Soldier never resorted to street drugs or the high volume of prescription drugs, and never indulged in alcohol. The Soldier's soul was lost but by God's Great Mercy, the Soldier found Salvation through Jesus Christ.

The Soldier still takes it one day at a time to adjust to civilian life and learn how to be Jocephus Duckworth and not Staff Sergeant Duckworth.
