"These young men weren't Special Operators or even full-time soldiers," said Cleveland, who served with the battalion from 2002 to 2006. "They were Reservists who in their civilian lives worked as teachers, nurses, police officers, paramedics, and Home Depot workers. This is a story about traveling from civilian to combatant in the worst possible scenario and back. My goal is to memorialize the men that I served with: who they were, what they did and what it cost them."
Cleveland, a police detective in Ohio with 25 years as a uniformed officer, will donate all proceeds from his book to Feed Our Vets, a non-profit providing food assistance to veterans and their families.
"Taylor's story is so emotional and engaging," said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. "His story provides deep insight into what happened to 3/25 in Iraq, and is a tremendous tribute to the men who sacrificed everything to defend our freedoms."
