Yours, Very Sincerely and Respectfully:
I read the book a bit at a time, kind of day by day, similar to what Tony had done...traveling across the country every day to meet with Gold Star families. For me, as it was for Tony, it was a great ride. I enjoyed it immensely.

The last chapter took longer than any other, I believe, because of the constant wiping of tears from my eyes. I enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you for writing it.

Just ended chapter 2 of your book. I'm exhausted just reading that far of what you've been through. So many thoughts racing through my mind. I like your writing style. You are a leather angel!

A fantastic telling of one man's courageous journey to honor our nation's ultimate unsung heroes. Well written account that informs the 93% of us who don't know but need to know about Gold Star Families. Everyone in America should read this book.
