Mine was a generation spent with grandfatherswhile our fathers fought a war thirteen thousand miles away. Theinspiration to write this story sprung from the new millennium, new wars acrossthe globe, and my many friends and relatives that are now grandparents. Iwrote this for the grandfathers, fathers, and grandsons that have hunted hereand abroad.
