About this item

In this celebration of faith and freedom, Fox News Co-Host Emily Compagno shares first person accounts that show the profound role belief in God has played in the lives of U.S. military servicemembers as they served in combat from World War I to today—commemorating the courage, camaraderie, spirit, and sacrifice of America’s heroes.

In this moving and evocative collection, Emily Compagno explores the enduring role faith has played in the lives of American soldiers during wartime. Descending from a long line of respected Navy and US Army veterans, Compagno offers unique insight into the importance of faith during times of hardship. She shares stories from generations of servicemen along with her own experience visiting American troops in Iraq and Kuwait when she was a cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders.

From World War I to current conflicts in the Middle East, Under His Wings blends the historical with the personal, featuring first-hand accounts from veterans whose religious beliefs emboldened them to persevere as they faced their own mortality on the fields of battle.

Each chapter is highlighted by a range of fascinating stories, including celebrity visits to the frontlines with the USO—from Marilyn Monroe to President Ronald Reagan—as well as heartfelt letters between soldiers and their loved ones and treasured family photographs.

Following the massive success of Modern Warriors, Faith Still Moves Mountains, and All American Christmas, this moving Fox News book is both an homage to the spirit of prayer and a heartfelt thank-you to our troops. Sure to become a treasured keepsake, Under His Wings is an inspiring reminder of the power of faith that will uplift the spirit through the holidays and beyond, for years to come.

Emily Compagno did a beautiful job telling so many amazing stories in this faith filled book. So well written the pages fly by and you are drawn into each service members story. Unbelievable stories of bravery, heroism and fear, that were greatly impacted by their faith in God. They say there are no atheists during war, but it is also nice to see how God has met each of these members where they were and helped them in their time of prayer. Very patriotic and faith filled, all inter woven into such well told stories. A perfect book at Christmas!

Great book to read. The stories are touching to be sure. The author, Emily, has done a great job with examples that offer a true faith. As a Veteran myself, I can attest to the fact that you need faith when in service, whether in wartime or peacetime.

Amazing study of a glimpse of faith in our military. Will be included as one of the best illustrations of why our military men and women are owed an honor and care because they sacrificed, sometimes all, for us to live in freedom. The importance revealed in Emily's book shows bravery beyond an average American citizen has ever experienced, making their efforts a supreme calling to arms, God loves us. Having 2 uncles in each theater in WWII and one grand uncle who came back a thread of a man, I understand, admire and honor those who gave any or all in defense of our God given and righteous calling to be the policeman of the world. Emily is sure to be as honored for this book as the soldiers premiered in it, I expect more to come from her brilliant narratives carefully threaded between heroes for God. Many tears for the families affected, these stories will touch your heart. And divine persistence to those soldiers who are suffering in any way due to horrors of war, Thank You and God Bless.

4.0 out of 5 stars examples of faith within the US military
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2024
In sixteen well-illustrated chapters, this book is a narrative of faith within the US armed forces. The examples are mostly from a broad Christian perspective. It is easy to read. Books like this often emphasize a generic God, but in this book there is a distinct Jesus emphasis. Some of the faith accounts are more clear than others, but all give testimony of active faith in often difficult circumstances. In a time of lessening spirituality and secularization, when most churches have declining attendance, a book like this has a place in seeking to counter the American slide into atheism or agnosticism. I recommend the book.

The stories of brave heroes both men and women detailed in this chronological account of war time bravery was excellent ,riveting and brings hope to all those who served during terrible times. The horrific injuries and the courage of the soldiers and their loved ones was an amazing account of such difficult times. Well done Emily Compagno.
