Calling all active duty personel and veterans of the Global War on Terror:

Journalist seeks stories from members of all branches of the U.S. military, nationwide, for a bestselling book on acts of uncommon bravery on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan.

I am seeking moving details about specific acts of exceptional honor and valor that have helped save lives -- and served as unforgettable inspiration to others.

These stories can be about acts by personnel killed in the line of duty, too, but I will need to be able to speak with as many comrades, witnesses - and family members - as I can.

Gripping details, moreover, will be paramount.

I am looking for approx. 30 stories that have received NO attention from the national media whatsoever. However, stories published in local media outlets would be fine, of course.

This book will be dedicated to all the true unsung American heroes of Iraq and Afghanistan who have given everything -- while too many others didn't know or didn't didn't care.

If you could help contribute to this project, please send me your contact information -- including name, telephone, address and email -- along with a brief description of the incident, and how it all went down.

PLEASE NOTE: Please be reasonably sure that as many people involved as possible -- from the military to comrades in arms to family members -- will be willing to speak with me on the record so I can get the best details.

Please contact me, for now, via email:

Many thanks for your kind consideration.
Very best regards, Joseph Kirschke
