Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A Navy radioman's firsthand account of Operation Earnest Will-and his 40-year fight for justice. Thomas Anthony Wick served aboard USS Worden during the 1987-1988 Persian Gulf convoy operations. He processed the FLASH messages when USS Stark was hit by missiles, killing 37 sailors. He escorted the damaged ship through waters filled with Iranian mines and Silkworm missiles. He listened to merchant sailors die on the radio while prohibited from helping. The Navy documented a heart murmur at his separation physical in 1988-and sent him home. Thirty years later, he discovered it was atrial fibrillation. The diagnosis came three decades too late. This is the story of one combat veteran's fight against a system designed to deny, delay, and discourage. It's also the story of a military family's multi-generational sacrifice: a father crippled by VA malpractice, cousins who died waiting for benefits, and a sister who turns grief into charity by rescuing horses and paying off Christmas layaways for struggling families. EARNEST WILL is about two things: a Navy mission in the Persian Gulf, and the honest determination to never give up-no matter how broken the system becomes. For every veteran still fighting. One day, we win.…
