At only seventeen-years-old, he finds it as a 19D-Cavalry Scout in the United States Army.In this compelling and transparent memoir written by a Purple Heart awarded veteran, David Kendrick, Jr. shares the story of life outside of everything familiar to him, the way he meets his first love, and the bonds that were formed with the special group of men who would become his unit brothers - the 3-61st Cavalry Regiment.When David and his brothers deploy to Iraq in 2006, they fight on the front lines for freedom and for each other. Together, along with joy, they experience agony, misery, and heartbreak. Over time, David learns the true meaning of sacrifice and selfless service. He learns what it means to be a man. He learns what it means to be a soldier. He learns what it means to be . . . Cavalry.
