<We are proud to partner with "In the Shadow of Greatness" book by USNA Class of 2002
USNA Class of 2002 spent three years inviting their classmates to open their hearts and share experiences endured on the front lines. Acting as a virtual podium for those unlikely to speak about war, these first-person accounts are written with humility and respect for those with whom they served, bringing deserved recognition to all veterans of the era. As wars in Iraq and Afghanistan subside, those who depart the military are seeking a higher purpose at home. Read their stories of enduring commitment to country as they return from the battlefield and become leaders out of uniform.
