"Read this book and learn of a daughter's love and commitment to honor her father, who gave his last full measure of devotion to his country in a far off land long ago."

Senator John McCain


"This is the touching story of a young lady's search for her biological father. It is also a compelling story of the Marines who took in Stephanie as one of their own because her father was a Navy Corpsman. There is no person more respected and loved by Marines than their "Doc" - their Corpsman who shares the hardship and misery of combat to save Marine lives, sometimes sacrificing their own. Stephanie's dad is a true hero to all of us who wore the Marine uniform."

"What an honor it's been to help tell Stephanie's remarkable story in her hometown, especially since her father was a high school classmate of mine. Gary would be so proud of his daughter for embarking on this heartfelt journey, and for bringing long-overdue attention to some of America's unsung heroes."
