D.W. Smith started his life as an adult in the U.S. Army and stayed for 15 years as a Combat Engineer for the most part with the 82nd Airborne Division. He grew up in the 1960″s glued to the television waiting for a John Wayne western to come on Saturday afternoon. He lived on a diet of “Bonanza”, “Wanted: Dead or Alive”, “Cheyenne”, “Have Gun-Will Travel” and “Bat Masterson”. He is currently serving as a civilian support contractor to the Department of Defense located in Baghdad, Iraq for 4 year and now in Afghanistan in the volatile Helmand Province. He is now working on a literary vision of his days supporting the modern U.S. Army War Fighter as a civilian living in a war zone.
