Best Military History Books Every Veteran Should Read
"Not all heroes wear capes" is a famous line that refers directly to the armed forces. Despite being cape-less, the men and women who put their lives on the line in order to protect their county are bigger heroes than Superman, Spider-Man, and even Batman. My family has always been intrigued and fascinated by the military. Its dominance, history, tradition, heroism, and intricacies amaze me every day.
