Full of energy and ambition, Anthony Mena, struggles with the decision of which military branch he will join when he graduates from high school. Towards the end of the school-year, he enlists in the United States Air Force to serve in Security Forces. In spite of his mother's protest, Anthony leaves to basic training a month after graduation in hope of deploying to fight in the war-torn country of Iraq.
This is the true story of a courageous and determined young man who serves his country while the United States is involved in a bloody and controversial war in Iraq. Anthony proudly volunteers to deploy to Iraq a few months after joining the Air Force. This first deployment does not satisfy Anthony's desire to be involved in challenging experiences. Once again, this brave, adventurous airman volunteers for a year-long deployment to the bloody city of Baghdad. This time, he proudly serves as the lead driver for his squad, which consists of four Humvees, as they patrol the dangerous streets of Baghdad. They are faced with incredible experiences during an entire year in Baghdad. Anthony and the other troops struggle to survive from the first day of their arrival. They witness hundreds of dead bodies, some missing body parts and others badly tortured or burned. The troops encounter deadly bombings, Humvees blown apart, and witness their own companions lose their lives. Anthony's fellow airmen face many sleepless nights and listen to the sounds of bombs exploding close to them on a nightly basis. After much turmoil, Anthony and many of the troops suffer from insomnia and nightmares. The need for sleeping pills begins. The troops struggle to get enough sleep and to have the energy and courage to survive another day in Baghdad. After twelve long months of working with corrupt Iraqi police and enduring the ugly conditions left from the war, this deadly mission comes to an end. Anthony returns back to his base in the United States. Unable to comprehend Anthony's unusual behavior after returning from Iraq, Anthony's mother is determined to find out what has caused her son to have such a drastic change in personality. Months later, Anthony reveals to his parents that he has post-traumatic stress disorder. This ambitious, energetic young man who loved serving his country is now faced with the devastating symptoms associated with PTSD. Worst of all, Anthony begins a long journey of using a variety of prescribed pills. He also suffers from a severe back injury, which the doctors are unable to diagnose. The Air Force places him on job restrictions, takes away his weapons, and places him in an office job. Anthony's dream is shattered. As his list of medications grows, he experiences strange hallucinations, memory loss, and other side effects. Anthony's mother does everything within her power to help her son cope with the symptoms of PTSD, his back injury, and many side effects from the pills. This is not only an intense story about Anthony, but about what our troops suffer upon returning from war.Author Biography
Pat Mena was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. She graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso with a bachelor's degree in education. Pat and her husband, Willie, currently live in El Paso where they raised their three sons. After teaching elementary school as a bilingual teacher for 26 years, she retired and began her encounters in writing. Her book, You'll Be Fine, Darling is a true story about her son's struggle with PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder. Her son, Anthony, was diagnosed with this disorder after returning from Iraq while serving in the Air Force. Pat was inspired to write her son's story after THE NEW YORK TIMES and THE EL PASO TIMES wrote stories about Pat's son and other military troops struggling with PTSD. The stories focused on U.S. troops who are overmedicated by powerful drugs to help them cope with their daily lives. The stories also focused on how the families of these troops are affected. Pat experienced the difficulties of helping her son cope with the symptoms of PTSD and the side effects from being overmedicated by prescribed medication. After hearing about the many troops that are returning with similar experiences and obtaining the insight of this disorder, Pat was convinced to write this story to shed light on the problems which have become so common within our military families or anyone who is strongly medicated.
