Having witnessed the horrors of the 1965 War, Captain Manjit Singh Oberoi sided with his mother against the decision of sending a young Avinder to serve in the armed forces, much against the wish of his elder brother, Captain Bhupinder Jit Singh Oberoi, and father, retired SSP Sardar Tarlok Singh, who consider serving the nation a clan vocation. For Bhupinder, it was also a shot at redemption for his personal defeat in the war. Sandwiched between their divided views, Avinder Jeet Singh Oberoi joins the armed forces. But when he goes missing in action during the 1971 War, Manjit accuses Bhupinder for putting their brother in harm’s way. While Bhupinder embarks on a personal quest to find and save Avinder, Manjit finds himself in a situation on the western border where only infinite courage can save him. What will be the ultimate fate of the Oberoi brothers? Read this story of extraordinary soldiering, unparalleled brotherhood and deep-rooted family values, and witness how the Oberoi brothers, divided by the 1965 War, find themselves united after the war of 1971.

The Heroes of this book are the veterans and their families whose stories span 140+ years in protecting our country. Their stories are history, filled with the mundane events of service life, the fear of combat, the horror that front line infantrymen faced, the tension that air crews and pilots faced, the vastness of the Pacific that confronted sailors, the strain on the mind and bodies of Prisoners of War, and humor viewed through the eyes of the veterans. As you read their stories listen to the voices of these veterans and picture in your mind an aging color guard from a local veterans post; visualize them marching into the mist, to the sound of distant drums and the muted bugles call, along with the men and women who have gone before. There are no large marble memorials to these individual veterans; their monument is a free United States. I am left with one thought about the experience of speaking with these people; God bless the United States of America and all who serve her.
