From Somalia to North Korea and on to the former Soviet Union, What It Means to Serve: From Airborne Ranger to Peace Corps Volunteer is the intriguing and witty account of Robert Donayres six years of service for the U.S. Federal Government in two undoubtedly conflicting organizations the U.S. Army and Peace Corps. At the age of seventeen, Donayre enlists to become an airborne ranger, young and unsure of the uncertainties that surround his future. As he becomes immersed in military life, he finds himself traveling, drinking, and meeting women during short, army-allotted excursions. When his four-year contract comes to an end, Donayre spends seven years earning his masters degree and then decides to do the unthinkable: join the famously liberal Peace Corps. Assigned to Moldova, a small country in the former Soviet Union, he becomes engrossed in a politically conflicted culture thats notoriously intertwined with corruption and poverty. Donayres two-year stint as a teacher of English as a foreign language at the university level allows him to view, first hand, the effects of a broken nation on an emerging generation of workers. What It Means to Serve: From Airborne Ranger to Peace Corps Volunteer is a memoir that takes its readers through a range of politically charged emotions as Donayre openly engages in the dualities of war and peace.

Helps dry, cracked feet
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
We use these on my husband’s cracked feet in the winter and put on a thick cream under these socks. They are nice because hair, dirt and that kind of stuff doesn’t stick to the outside. I do wish them came in more sizes and colors. They were a little small for my husband, but still worked good enough. My husband isn’t thrilled about wearing pink socks around the house. At least it’s just around the house and not out in public though.

Be aware! Once they are on, do not walk! 😂
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
I absolutely love these things. But the first time I put them on in the living room. The walk to my bedroom was VERY interesting 😂😂😂 I now know I need to put them on and hang out for a bit, or simply go to bed. They do exactly what I need them to do. Feet feel great afterwards! With the right lotion, only need to use one every couple of weeks.

Transformed my feet
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
After trying several other brands that actually my size did not have the luxury feeling of these. T although x large they have the BEST feel and function. I put lotion on then slip them on and within a few minutes my dry cracked heals are soft. Really a nice product.

Dog loves it! For tough chewers for sure
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large, Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large
Dog absolutely loves it, he’s super rough on all of his toys they usually last about 10 minutes bore they are torn to shreds. It’s lasting through his chewing so I’m happy. It’s also super cute.
