Inspiration in Uniform by Dana Mularkey

June 2025

Inspiration in Uniform by Dona  Mularkey is a very inspirational book. This book reflects the life of military members intermixed with life stories of Dana Mularkey.

The book is broken down in chapters with inspirational quotes from famous people. Each chapter ends with Internet resources dealing with the military and Veterans.

The chapters are not long at all. This is an “easy read” that is well worth the buy. I bought the book at the Oklahoma Writers Federation Inc. conference bookstore where authors attending the conference can place their book in the store for purchase by participants of the conference.

Dona states in her book “Some days I realize the small blessings I receive for which I forget to give thanks. These small blessings we often take for granted and often fail to recognize we live lives with so many blessings.” (Mularkey, 2013)

This book was so helpful to being inspired by the many great stories of military life. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to read more about inspirational military stories.

Dona goes on to state that this book is “windows into every day lives of our warriors.” (Mularkey,2013). She shares her experiences as  a professor at a college dealing with the military on and off ships. Dona  taught math to the military members.

 Her previous experience before being a professor was in the aviation industry so when she became a professor, there was some common ground on discussions with the officers that flew some of the planes she worked on.

I would give this book a five-star rating. I highly recommend this book for military and non-military alike.
