Ward Mayfield served as a combat engineer twice in Iraq and once in Afghanistan, completing more than 300 missions clearing routes, and detecting and removing improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from roadways for safe travel by U.S. forces.

Now retired and living in the greater Salt Lake City area in Utah, Ward continually looks for ways to serve others and give back in his community.

In his debut book, Lessons from Uncle Sam, Ward transports his audience from the comfort and safety of their lives to the raw and unpredictable cruelty of war, death, and destruction.

His story both enlightens and uplifts readers as he goes back to his time in war zones as a bomb disposal operator in a battle of wits with the enemy where losing could have meant death. He makes a conscious choice to move forward with his life in spite of the tragedies he has had to face.
