A Long Way From Home: Our Time in Iraq and Afghanistan

It took 11 years before I went to war the first time. Little did I know it wasn't going to be my last.

In the aftermath of the terror attacks on 9/11, the US military ramped up for what would become the longest war in American history. For soldiers like Sergeant First Class Christian W. Freed, it was the start of an endless stream of deployments. It began with a C17 trip to Bagram, Afghanistan in Oct 2002, took him to Mosul, Iraq with the 101st Airborne Division, and finally to Camp Victory in Baghdad, Iraq during one of the most significant times of the war.

There are no generals or politicians here. No one writing their memoirs without ever putting their boots in the sand. This is real, raw, and told by the men and women who put their lives on the line for their nation, for their families, and for the people beside them.
