| Publisher Description: There are plenty of books and movies about what different soldiers experienced in war, but people often ask the wrong question: WHY did the soldier server? WHY did they risk their own life and sacrifice? Sons of the Flag brings together the veterans from each of the American wars in the last 100 years, including 9/11 first responders. Each man discussed the WHY of their service. Their chapters reveal a legacy of service among American soldiers. Weaving their chapters together, author Ryan "Birdman" Parrott, an American veteran shares the journey that led from being a self-described screw-up to the leader of Sons of the Flag, an organization dedicated to burn survivors. The contributors to this book discuss dedication to mission and the responsibility to and for the person on your left and the person on your right. Parrott asks readers to imagine a country with citizens as dedicated as the contributors to this book. |
