When Duty Called: Even Grandma Had to Go: Dianah Kwiatkowski's Persian Gulf/Desert Storm Memoir

by Sandra Warren, Dianah Kwaitkowski

Ever since Dianah Kwiatkowski was a child, she admired uncles who had been soldiers and she, herself, longed to be of service to her country. It would be forty-years, after she became a mother of five and grandmother of four, before she would get that chance.
When Duty Even Grandma Had to Go is the story of the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges 2nd Lt. Dianah Kwiatkowski faced while serving as an Army Reserve nurse in the Persian Gulf War during Operation Desert Storm. Her her unexpected activation into a war zone shortly after enlisting, hurried special training, fear for survival, and living within the cultural inequality of women in Saudi Arabia were life-altering experiences that made coming home difficult and changed her life forever.
