the veterans, [G. Mark] LaFrancis said."They're humble," he said. "(The veterans) did not want people to connect specific poems with specific people because they believe they performed a job over there. They don't seek headlines."
In a book self-published by LaFrancis in 2008 called "In their boots: poems inspired by soldiers and their loved ones," LaFrancis focuses on interviews with soldiers about their time in combat.
Book two, three and four are inspired by interviews with soldier's loved ones, soldiers at home and his own reflections from the project, LaFrancis said.
