About the Book
My Mommy Wears Combat Boots is about a mother’s deployment through her child’s eyes. From special trinkets you send from foreign countries to video chatting to hear about their day, from countdown chains for your return to making your homecoming very special for you, My Mommy Wears Combat Boots can help you to explain that while difficult, your leaving is so important.
About the Author
I am the mother of two wonderful children, Christopher and Chloe. I was born and raised in Duluth, Minnesota, and I have a supportive husband, children, parents and sisters who truly support me in all my endeavors. I am enlisted in the United States Navy and have been serving as a Master-At-Arms on active duty since Octaober 2002. Both my jobs, as a mommy and sailor, are very rewarding, yet they can be difficult to balance at times. They require a lot of help, effort, and dedication to make them work together in harmony. During my years of service, I have been on multiple deployments that have been difficult on my family. Without my family’s support of my service, I never would have made it as long as I have. I wrote this book as a way to show a deployment through a child’s eyes and how I made them all special to my children. I wanted to finally have a book available to all my sisters in the service. No matter your branch of service, your personal situation, or who your family is, I hope you and your families enjoy My Mommy Wears Combat Boots.
