Many Americans only know military contractors from the little they have read in the media, which hasn't always portrayed a pleasant picture.

Now, Linda J Johnson is bringing to light the real story behind her family's sacrificing for their country in this capacity. She believes her story reflects thousands of American families who have been involved in the deployment of a loved one in support of our troops!

Faced with a job shortage on the Island of Kauai; Linda's husband responded to a recruitment ad for a military contractor and his decision changed their lives forever. Since 2005, Linda began writing a journal to capture what he and their youngest son was seeing out on the battlefield, as well as what she was seeing in the changing of America. That journal became her new book. Through drastic ups and downs, Linda and Richard persevered with faith and pride in his work and in the U.S., constantly battling the negative attitude portrayed by the MSM towards military contractors and the war.

Learn what their lives are like when Living in the Shadow of the Iraq Conflict. Richard returned home in August of 2009 after having served four consecutive years as a military contractor in Baghdad, Iraq.
