A father tells his daughters the lessons of life he learned as a helicopter gunship pilot in the Vietnam war. He tells them about John Synowsky and Graham Stevens, the two men who risked their lives to rescue him when he was shot down, and who received the Soldier’s Medal for heroism that day.
"We learned that courage is not the absence of fear, courage is getting the job done while you’re so scared your hands shake."
"We learned that heroes are not larger-than-life and fearless, they are the ordinary people who do extraordinary things when their brothers are in danger."
An advocate for adoption, he encourages and supports others as they seek to build a family through adoption. This book represents part of that support. He lives with his family in Peachtree City, Georgia.
As a combat Cobra helicopter pilot in the Vietnam war in 1969, Terry received the Purple Heart, Bronze Star and Distinguished Flying Cross. He is teaching his daughters that every man and woman in our armed forces deserve our gratitude for the freedom we enjoy.
