: 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.
