This book could have been written by the father of any soldier lost in war, but I am honored to tell you, that it was written by my neighbor and friend, Joe Baddick. I picked up this book and couldn't stop reading it. It is like "an evening with Joe Baddick." This man and his wife, Sheila, are the "real deal." I was privileged to know A.J. briefly. He was a hero in having the courage to become who he had worked and dreamed to be - an officer in the 82nd Airborne, serving his country, serving his fellow man, saving the life of another, sacrificing all to that end. But another hero in the story is his father, Joseph, who has had the courage to press on, walking closer to his God and helping others through their losses. Joe's enduring faith is a testimony to us all. This book is written from his heart and he teaches us that from great pain can come great Blessing. God Bless you Joe Baddick, Sgt. A.J. Baddick and God Bless America!
