Through Strong Families Strong Forces, a reflective parenting program for military families with young children, we were privileged to work with contemporary military fathers who served in the post-9/11 conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Due to this work, the authors gained valuable insight into the complexity of fathering during wartime, the critical role of fatherhood as motivation for seeking support during reintegration, and the strong commitment to healthy parenting among military fathers. In this article, the authors describe their positive experiences of engaging fathers in Strong Families Strong Forces and attempt to convey important elements of the fathers' stories as they navigated postdeployment parenting, co-parenting, and family life.
