Behind the Rank, Volume 4

In the fourth installment of the Behind the Rank series, Lila Holley along with 11 new courageous coauthors share stories of their undying commitment to serving their country. Whether motivated by a hope for a new life, the drive to prove herself, or the need to provide, each of these women bravely decided to become service members, unable to predict what challenges lay ahead of them. Throughout their military careers, these women navigated both loving and complicated relationships with their families-defined by blood and the service-that shaped their decisions and drive to succeed.

Behind the Rank, Volume 4, is yet another series of heartfelt stories that challenge your perception of what it means to be patriotic and what it means to be a woman. Beyond being Soldiers and Sailors, these women are mothers, sisters, and daughters who have sacrificed their lives to fight for us and for their duty to family.
