As one of the only Military Intelligence soldiers-and one of the only Black women-authorized to wear the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment's combat patch, she was there. She served. She fought. But for decades, her story was erased. Speaking for thousands of women who've been silenced, this mother-daughter memoir exposes the battles Black women soldiers fought that history tried to erase-and proves that even in the darkest desert, God's hand never lets go.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt seventeen, she joined the U.S. Army to escape poverty and chase a dream of college.

Transferred, isolated, and systematically punished, she dug foxholes, hauled water, and stirred burn pits full of human waste while carrying a secret that could get her court-martialed. When she tried to report what happened, she was told it would be \"her word against his.\" That she should forget it ever happened.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBut God had other plans.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 14, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43159554687039,"sku":"9798993853604","price":28.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/4alCzGNMJc9798993853604.webp?v=1776999646","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/blanket-party-in-desert-storm-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
