A Soldier's Son

About the Book

Poems of nationalism, patriotism, and honor await readers in the new book A Soldier’s Son. Authored by David Hotchkiss, PhD, this book is dedicated to all brave men and women that unselfishly and steadfastly serve in the United States Armed Forces. A Soldier’s Son looks at the greatness of America through the eyes of a career soldier who comes from a long line of soldiers; this makes him a soldier´s son. Life in the military for both the military member and family are highlighted. Historical events such as the attack on the World Trade Center´s twin towers, the Iraq War, the history of the Ft. McHenry flag, Pearl Harbor, and the Normandy invasion are all addressed in detail in Hotchkiss´s poetic style. Life in America and things known as Americana such as family reunions, Christmas, backyard barbecues, and county fairs are also addressed. This book will make you laugh and cry, reflect, and reminisce and instill a sense of patriotic pride for America and the US military. Hotchkiss invites readers to reflect with his poems on liberty, democracy, the American way of life, and the men and women who fight for it.
