About the Author

Ron Breland has lived as a family man, a fireman, a poet, and a warrior. He enlisted in the U.S. Army as a firefighter on the eve of Desert Storm in late 1990, and was anxious to serve his country. As a third generation firefighter, Breland followed in the footsteps of his father, and grandfather who retired as the Fire Chief of his home town of Monroe, Louisiana. Determined to follow those who had gone before him, he found out quickly that life in the firehouse was not easily balanced with family, the military, or life in a combat zone. After his third tour of combat in the deserts of Iraq, Breland’s military career dissipated with a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, where he received an Honorable discharge with medical disability. With the support of his wife and children he faced his new life as a civilian. Ron Breland, his wife Helen, and their children now reside in New Mexico.
