Cpl Cox

On Feb 7, 2003, Cpl Cox left loved ones behind, stepped into the darkness of the unknown and found himself in the midst of Operation Iraqi Freedom. WAR CHANGES LIVES... "What was it like?" Eric J Cox does an excellent job of answering this question although what you may find most astonishing is that combat was only a prelude to the psychological battles he would face. "A stark episode of one Marine's experience of the Iraq war that will resonate with millions..." -Sean Gautam, MBA, LL.M. "Hit home with my wife and has brought us closer by giving her an appreciation of what we went through..." -Jason Ream, Founder, Operation PTSD "I was hooked by the 2nd page, crying by page 20 and didn't put it down until I was finished..." -Rhondave Sitzes, Marine Mom "Written with objective precision and unbiased viewpoints, balancing the gravity of war with small nuggets of humor..." -Sean Gautam, MBA, LL.M. "Sheds light on a great struggle..." - LtCol Dean Vrable, USMC

Cox enlisted in the Marines right out of high school in ’99. In 2003, Cox became a combat veteran and his life would forever be changed. ＂The most endearing part of this book is not a tale of heroism but that of a young man ascending into manhood within the span of a few long months,＂ as one reviewer of Cpl Cox put it. Since then, while facing many challenges posed by complex combat-related PTSD, Cox has become a successful business owner in real estate brokerage. In the midst of his real estate career Cox wrote his first book of memoirs, Cpl Cox, which landed him a seat on the board of a veteran non-profit. Cox remains an adventurist who loves snowboarding, skydiving, motocross, boating, horses, and traveling around the world. However, the attribute Cox is most proud is that of being a single dad to his beautiful daughter, Savannah. ＂I give thanks to our Lord every day for blessing me with the privilege of being Savannah’s daddy - the sweetest gift I’ve ever known,＂ says Cox.
