In 2005, First Sergeant Charles Monroe King began to write what would become a 200 page journal for his son in case he did not make it home from the war in Iraq. Charles King, 48, was killed on October 14, 2006, when an improvised explosive device detonated under his Humvee on an isolated road near Baghdad. His son, Jordan, was seven months old.A Journal for Jordan is a mother's letter to her son - fierce in its honesty - about the father he lost before he could even speak. It is also a father's advice and prayers for the son he will never know.
