“Norma’s remarkable story of service to her family and country is one that everyone can learn from. A dedicated Gold Star Wife, Army wife and mother, Norma’s story of resilience and dedication will remain with you long after reading. How lucky are we to hear her story in her own words. We hope that when you read this book, you share Norma’s example of service with the children in your life so they can be inspired too.”
