Description
What does resilience really look like? What does it mean to live a life of courage?
At a certain point, the word “service” takes on a whole different meaning-a meaning each of the female Veterans profiled in this book know well.
Each chapter in Wonder Women shares the story of a different female Veteran, written in her own voice. As you read them, you will learn so much about gratitude, about what sacrifice really looks like, about strength, about duty. You’ll follow them from bootcamp to deployments, from West Point to 9/11 response sessions, from caring for wounded civilians and comrades to middle-of-the-night missions, from walking away from your crying children in the airport headed to a who-knows-where deployment to what it’s like when your own adult kids do the same, this time, walking away from you. You’ll learn about what it’s like both during active duty and what it’s like to come home and try to cope, rebuild, and heal.
At the end of the day, a Wonder Woman isn’t the one who does it all. She’s the one who learns what actually matters and has the courage to build her life around it. These women did just that with unwavering heart and a whole lot of grit.
It is an honor to know them. It is an even bigger honor to be able to share their stories with you so that you may know them, too.

About the Author
Combs, Susan: – Susan L. Combs launched her entrepreneurial journey in 2005, founding Combs & Company at the age of 26. A staunch supporter of women, she herself made history as the youngest-ever National President (2014-2015) of Women in Insurance & Financial Services. Along the way, Susan’s story took on a new dimension with a request that had nothing to do with business-her father, the late Major General Roger E. Combs, simply asked for pancakes. That humble ask became a powerful metaphor: a reminder that life can change in an instant and that there is always something to be grateful for, even in the hardest moments. That moment sparked a movement.In 2018, Susan turned that metaphor into momentum, launching fundraising efforts for the University of Missouri School of Law Veterans Clinic, where she also sits on the Advisory Board. Since then, Pancakes for Roger has expanded to raise thousands of dollars annually to support the Clinic’s work on behalf of Veterans in need of legal care and advocacy. The nonprofit has expanded to include the Major General Roger E. Combs Endowment Scholarship, a Veteran Housing Support Fund, Community Partnerships, Direct Veteran and Family Support, and more. Susan is the author of the bestselling book Pancakes for Roger: A Mentorship Guide for Slaying Dragons. Learn more at PancakesforRoger.org.
