The living cells of this book are words, my words, strung together to communicate my personal experiences as a combat veteran, a disabled veteran, a disabled person in this society called America. The heart of this book is the writing, the tale telling. The body of this book is the pages, paper pulped by a veteran from uniforms worn by veterans.
The skin of this book is the cover which replicates the body armor worn by soldiers: Kevlar covered in camo fabric from fatigues donated by veterans. The binding of this book is stitched with medical sutures¬, the same material used by surgeons in their attempts to make the wounded whole.
