ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I am humbled by the small army that aided me in producing this book: Sharon Morgenthaler started me on this adventure. David Horbovetz saw the book in me. Rita Emmett showed me the way. Maureen Cunningham would not let me quit. Rachel Krausman and Christopher Polinski helped me capture my stories. Jenna Glatzer, book saver, provided the editing.

Lynn Johnston, the best literary agent ever, showed patience and forbearance as she turned a soldier into an author.

Casey Ebro and the team at McGraw-Hill, thank you for the courage in publishing the book.

My undying gratitude to the great Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, and Coastguardsmen that I have served with over the years and across continents.
