I dedicate this book to all who honorably serve our
Armed Forces and all who serve and are dedicated to
our nation’s defence and public safety — May you
always be celebrated and protected.
SPECIAL DEDICATION
To Colonel Ted Parks USMC Retired — My whole
world changed because of your belief in me, and the books
you had me read as a young leader of Marines kindled
a flame in my spirit.
To Colonel Bill Truax USMC — Your intersession
during the most challenging time of my life literally saved
my life. I will forever be indebted. Taking care of your
Marines and being a superb leader has never been a
challenge for you. It is truly your innate gift.
To all my Marine Corps brothers and sisters who are
currently serving or have honorably served our elite team
of warriors — Your sacrifices, brotherhood, and
relentless determination to succeed against all odds are
the ethos that the masses will never understand.
Semper Fidelis!
