Beaufort resident Gerald Wynn will sign copies of his new book Downrange at Gardez on Thursday, April 3 from 4-6pm at the Beaufort Bookstore. Refreshments will be served.

Discussing his book, Wynn says:

Downrange at Gardez is a revealing first-hand account of my military service in Afghanistan.  I am a lifetime Beaufortonian, a 39-year member of the South Carolina Army National Guard, and this is my first wartime experience. Follow my Afghanistan Deployment through training, deployment, and returning home. This book is a complete description of daily life in Afghanistan during 2007-08. Travel down the roads, trails and back country with Logistic Task Force of,Alpha Company, 163rd Support Battalion, 218 Heavy Separate Brigade. The military personnel in Afghanistan are so appreciative of the many care packages that were sent overseas to support us. My book is a day-by-day journal of where I went, what I did, and who I was with during this time of war. It exposes good times, bad times, and the time it took to readjust to civilian life. This is Afghanistan, how I saw it 2007-08.
