Very inspiring book. Very grateful to all the men and women who have served and continue to serve. They provide us everyday with a privilege that we as Americans take for granted. I would also like to thank each one of them for sharing their stories so that those of us who may never serve in the capacity can understand and be motivated to serve in other ways. God bless them and America.
