BLOOMFIELD, N.J. - s4story -- Service Strong: The Veteran's Roadmap—From Service to Stability to Success by bestselling author Anna D. Banks is now available in the Amazon Kindle Store.

At a time when approximately 200,000 service members transition from military service each year, Service Strong addresses one of the nation's important workforce and community challenges: helping veterans successfully navigate civilian life after service.

America's veterans have defended the nation's safety, security, and freedoms. Yet many face uncertainty when the uniform comes off and a new chapter begins. Service Strong provides a practical roadmap to help veterans move from service to stability to success.

Banks wrote the book from both a professional and deeply personal perspective. Her sister, Staff Sergeant Sharon F. Pediford, retired after a distinguished military career. Her sister's two sons also proudly served in the armed forces: Senior Airman Robert Pediford, Jr., now deceased, and Specialist Charles Pediford, who served honorably and continues to carry forward a legacy of service, strength, and resilience.

"Veterans spend years preparing to serve their country," said Banks. "Far too many receive little guidance on how to successfully transition into civilian life. I wrote Service Strong to help bridge that gap and remind veterans that their skills, leadership, and service still matter. Their next mission matters."
