About this title

Review:

Compelling life lessons of overcoming adversity through the voices of veterans will provide powerful insight for all that heed their wisdom!--Roger Staubach, Vietnam veteran, Navy and Dallas Cowboy quarterback

Within a few years, our last Veterans from World War II will pass away. Stories from this book will help keep alive the memories of their heroism.--Pat Williams, Owner, Orlando Magic

After reading Life Lessons from Veterans, I suddenly measure fear and stress in a different light in comparison to the mundane heroic acts of our heroes. Whether they are underwater or in the air, the parables of our military heroes bring me hope that regardless what the world may throw our way, we'll be OK, in America.--Karl Frank, CEO, A&I Financial Services

These brief encounters with veterans cut to the core of what courage is about, and what really counts. Their stories...bring home once more the inspiring lessons Rick Tocquigny shares in his other books, by calling us quietly to rise to our God-given best. In Rick's memorable words, 'Life is a leadership laboratory you can learn outside a classroom.'--Nedda R. Thomas, author of "Hump Pilot"

The stories of Bataan and Battle of the Bulge were gripping. The accomplishments of our young American soldiers was truly astounding.--Ra Kumar, NSB Talent

Perhaps more than any other time in history, we should all heed Life Lessons from Veterans. They work and live amongst us, and their sacrifice, experience and patriotic commitment reflect values that inform and inspire us. This book contains profound examples and stories of these heroes.--Marc Pierce, CEO, Warm Springs Productions

Life Lessons from Veterans reminds us that our freedom isn't free. It's been purchased with the blood, time, talent, and lives of the courageous Men and Woman of our armed forces. Thank you Veterans!--Vic Kennett, Founder, Kerusso

As a son of a Vietnam Veteran, I appreciate every effort to show appreciation to our veterans who have given so much. This book reminds us of their sacrifice and helps us to honor and appreciate those in uniform who protect us each and every day.--Darren Henry, President, STL Distribution

Veterans just don't get enough thanks! Take time to celebrate and honor our Veterans for their courage and extraordinary dedication....Reflect on these true-life experiences and what it has taken to protect our freedom. Feel gratitude for our Veterans (like my Dad) who have sacrificed and served our country.--Terri Muir, Co-Founder, VCH

Military service is an honorable and admirable profession, and in many ways serving in uniform builds character and helps create attitudes and aptitudes whether or not one chooses to make the military his or her career. Rick Tocquigny's Life Lessons from Veterans highlights some of the outstanding men and women who put their lives on the line every day they are in uniform, and illustrates how military service often brings out the best in those who wear the uniform. Teamwork, loyalty, going above and beyond for their comrades - all of these are documented in the chapters of Rick's book. Inspiring to all of us, it is a testament to the men and women who lay their lives on the line to keep us free.--Gordon B. Logan, CEO and Founder, Sport Clips Haircuts
