Josh Shores is a Marine Infantry combat veteran, Purple Heart recipient, entrepreneur, and retired firefighter. He served four and a half years in the United States Marine Corps with combat deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan, including service with the first Marine Special Operations Company Bravo. His time in uniform, marked by intense combat and the deep bonds of brotherhood, shaped the foundation for his debut memoir, Counting on Death. "Counting on Death" is based on meticulous notes taken throughout his deployment. This vivid account follows his experiences as he navigated the brutal realities of war. Shores’ grueling seven-month deployment was marked by day-to-day struggles and nightmarish events. Driven by a desire to redeem himself and reconcile the harrowing experiences of his first deployment, Shores chose to return to combat a second time, this time to Afghanistan with the first-ever Marine Special Operations Company Bravo. But upon returning home, he faced new and equally daunting battles—struggling with survivor’s guilt and a profound sense of being misunderstood by those who had once known him. Illuminating both the triumphs and failures he encountered on the front lines, his memoir offers a deeply personal perspective on the true cost of combat, providing a modern-day perspective on the psychological and emotional impacts of battle. This is the harrowing story of a teenager’s descent into the darkest parts of the soul and his arduous quest for redemption and self-discovery, capturing the relentless emotional toll of war even after the physical battles end. Counting on Death serves as both a guide for new warfighters and a candid exploration of a veteran’s battle to find peace after service.
