Nautical Salute: A Tribute to the Unseen Battles of Veterans

Written by Combat Veteran Shawn Hibbard

“You may have come back from war, but sometimes the war doesn’t leave you.”

This audiobook tells of the origins and operations of Nautical Salute, a veteran services organization that takes our heroes out on the water for recreation and decompression. What Shawn has discovered is that the healing waters create an environment where veterans are free to open up and share - and sharing leads to healing.

In this heartfelt and deeply personal audio experience, Nautical Salute explores the internal world of a combat veteran’s return to civilian life - one that is often invisible to those around him. With raw honesty and poetic storytelling, author Shawn Hibbard offers a moving tribute to those who served, those still struggling, and those who never made it home.

Through vivid reflections and emotional insight, Hibbard walks listeners through the unseen wounds of war: trauma, regret, survivor’s guilt, and the search for peace. He does not offer a clinical diagnosis or a distant lecture. Instead, he opens his soul with a salute to the brotherhood of veterans, offering solidarity, understanding, and hope.

Listeners will recognize their own thoughts in his words - whether they served, loved someone who did, or simply seek to understand what real courage looks like beyond the battlefield. This audiobook is not just for veterans. It’s for families, friends, caregivers, and anyone trying to understand the pain behind the silence.

Nautical Salute is a reminder that healing is possible. That remembrance is sacred. That service continues, even in civilian life, through connection and compassion.
