"DAMN THE VALLEY" was a phrase regularly uttered by the men that spent any amount of time in the Arghandab River Valley during the deployment of 2 Fury to Afghanistan in 2009-2010. The valley has claimed bodies from the troops of Alexander the Great, the British Empire, and more recently, the Russian Army. Operating in the valley was like nothing the men could have envisaged, they called it the "meat grinder." It was a deployment that the media didn't talk about, and the government doesn't acknowledge.

Raw. Real. I served in 1-508 ‘08-‘11, deploying. Knew several of the men chronicled here

I served in 1-508, the sister battalion from 2008-2011, deploying to the same area from 2009-2010. I lived at ANCOP, described in chapter 8. Adam Armstrong was my team captain in college ‘03-‘04 and I have to some extent kept in touch with him. Some of the story is raw. All of it is vivid. Most was news to me. The call to action at the end is sober. Mad respect to the author and the men who allowed their names to be shared, especially when the context wasn’t flattering. Recommend the book to anyone. I cried a couple times, especially during chapter ten. Fury from the Sky! Airborne! All the Way! RLTW! Special memory of Chris Goeke whose funeral I attended since I was already home with ADVON, and to Tate, and several others not named, such as Chris Stout. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. I hope more guys will tell their story.

Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life by Marcellino D Ambrosio is a book of approximately 200 pages that stands alone but also accompanies the 10-week video study program presented by Catholic experts Marcellino D Ambrosio, Jeff Cavins, and Edward Sri. In this book, Catholics walk step by step with Jesus from his infancy to the Ascension. Anchored in the life of Christ as presented in the Gospels, it explores the entirety of Jesus life who he is, what he is really like, what he taught, what he did for our salvation, and what this means for us as Catholics today.

Passion for discipleship & not mere knowledge
Revisado: 01-23-25
The Apostle Thomas didn’t receive the title Doubting Thomas more than 2,000 years ago as D’Ambrosio says. Other speculation is not backed up, nor are the likely alternatives given mention. Would like more nuance. Overall: great work! Glad I listened…I have a paperback copy too.
