“Things break at the seams, particularly for military families in transition. Tony and Penny Monetti provide urgently needed guidance and strong encouragement as today’s military families dip deeply into their wells of courage. This book should be in the ‘rucksack’ of every military family as they navigate and overcome the challenges of transition.”

"Powerful! Practical! Personal!

Every couple needs to arm themselves with Honored to Serve as their survival guide for military families in transition."

Elaine W. Miller

"A military family's ability to endure this transient and turbulent way of life is rooted in mastering two skills: a creative resourcefulness and a constant reliance on our unchanging Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Penny and Tony Monetti provide inspiring examples, memorable anecdotes, and practical tools that equip readers to excel at both."

Marshele Carter Waddell

“Honored to Serve is an essential asset to help military families not just survive deployments, but thrive in the midst of service to their country. The Monettis’ firsthand accounts provide practical advice needed to overcome military challenges and transform lives. It’s a ‘must read’ for anyone who has signed up to defend their country, or pledged their love to that warrior.

Vicky Hartzler

At Focus on the Family we often hear from military families struggling with the realities of deployment, return to civilian life, PTSD, frequent relocation, and much more. I wish that all of them could read the Monettis’ excellent book, which is filled with practical insights and the wisdom of experience.” 

Jim Daly

From its beginning to its appendixes, Honored to Serve is filled with engaging stories, practical applications, and educational resources. With experience and encouragement, the Monetti husband/wife team writes to military personnel and their families who are maneuvering through the demands of self-sacrifice.
