Acknowledgments
I would like to take this time to extend my personal thanks to my 10 year old son, David. If it wasn't for you Dave, I would have given up a long time ago. The only thing that kept me going through the thick and thin of it all was knowing that I had a son at home whom I love very much. I know you have always wondered why I was never home and why you only recieved letters from me in the mail, well, hopefully this book will explain all of that for you.
I would like to also give thanks to all my friends and collegues who have served along side me. They are the true heros.
A very special thanks for Teresa, thank you for keeping my letters I wrote to you and Dave. Without them, I would have been unable to write this book.
Finally, Bob you will never be forgotten, and save me a seat up there, because when my time comes, the first thing I am doing is finding your ass and we'll belly up to the bar and raise some hell like we did in the good old days!
