Ben a graduate of West Point, has served two tours of duty in Iraq. His mother, Frances, opposed the war, creating a rift between a single mother and her only child. In response, Frances wrote poems about and for her son, they are collected in a new book, The Warrior. The poetry has helped bring mother and son closer.
