Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

John 15:13

On this Memorial Day our thoughts go out to all of our brave warriors who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Their sacrifice should never be far from our hearts and minds as it is their sacrifice which secures our right to enjoy today and every freedom we have. So we hope you enjoy this day with your family and friends, but hope you set aside a moment to remember our fallen warriors.

We get many requests about bulk sales from people who wish to distribute copies of the book to illustrate the important work our troops are doing in Iraq. One person bought 600 copies.

My publisher is making it possible to order regular (unsigned) copies at great bulk discounts, even though the best possible discount is available at Barnesandnoble.com right now. But we don't know how long the discount will last at Barnes & Noble, they control their pricing. I just signed 2000 more copies this past Saturday and they are already shipping. There are 1600 still available.

My gear is waiting for me in Mosul so that I can return once I finish my work with the book.

Below is my publisher's message:


Order 10 books or more and save 30%, plus get free standard shipping!

Order a full case of 30 books and save 45%! A $900 value for just $495. Standard shipping is free! This super discount is available only for case quantities.

Here is how. Call our distributor, Pathway Books, at 1-800-345-6665 and tell them you want to take advantage of the special Michael Yon bulk order offer.

Give them the product code "Prepared and Loyal"
so they will know to give you this special discount. Be ready to give them a credit card or arrange payment.

Remember standard shipping is free but Pathway will arrange expedited shipping at an additional cost upon request..
