Publication Date: 2008-05-01
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jim Sheeler weaves together the stories of the fallen and of the broken homes the military casualties of the Iraq war have left behind, through Major Steve Beck, who has made it his personal mission to learn each dead marine's name and help those families grieving for them. Above all, Final Salute is a moving tribute to the troops, putting faces to the mostly anonymous names and to the brave families who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
