Surviving the Folded Flag: Parents of war share stories of coping, courage, and faith
by Deborah H. Tainsh

Author and Gold Star mom Deborah Tainsh has gathered essays from more than twenty-five parents who received the dreaded news that their child had died in military service. These invaluable stories show how today's military families are surviving the folded flag and give a glimpse into the lives of fallen service members and their families. Also includes advice for other Gold Star families, their friends, and family members.

Bonus essays from a casualty notification officer and a former soldier give deeper insight into how wartime death affects comrades left behind.
