The Iraq War has ended and a road map has been drawn for a withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2014. For the men and women who must close out Operation Enduring Freedom, the fight goes on. The end will not arrive before the next bomb, the next bullet.
Each day brings the possibility for tragedy or victory, death or heroism. They are not mutually exclusive, and often a single instant produces them all. These themes run through the pages of the eighth edition of Stars and Stripes’ annual Heroes special section. These tales of valor, courage and compassion tell the story of a nation at war.
