I'm living my life one day at a time. Sitting here picturing home with a small tear in my eyes. Spending time with my brothers who will hold my life in their hands -PFC Diego Rincon, February 22, 2003, Kuwait His final letter home to his mother made international news. His death in the line of duty inspired U.S. law. In the passionate defense of his adopted homeland, Private First Class Diego Rincon lost his life to the first-known suicide attack on U.S. soldiers in Operation Iraqi Freedom. A.E. Dimond delivers the gripping account of an American hero in a tip of the spear fight to Baghdad with the Outlaw Platoon-a conviction that compels his proud immigrant family to assume not only the blessings but the extreme burdens of freedom. More than a timeless war story, this true account of devotion to the American dream pays tribute to liberty's brave defenders, and those they leave behind in the continued War on Terror. "It's my country to defend, Papi "
They were wrenching words in the wake of the September 11 attacks, and momentous in the wake of the war.
"Vayase." Go then, Jorge said quietly. America was Diego's soul mate "Join the Army," Diego's father gave his blessing again, and his mother turned her head.
There was a haunting, piercing pain in her breast, taking her breath away.

Praise for Growing Up with Harry “Sherman Baldwin has written a delightful and honest account of a father whose love of life permeates every page of this book. Growing Up with Harry is about the lifetime of an unforgettable relationship, deeper and more intimate than Tuesdays with Morrie.”
—Donald S. Lamm, former Chairman of W.W. Norton & Company “What would Harry do?” is a question author Sherman Baldwin asks himself when faced with a difficult decision. Henry “Harry” Baldwin is his father who died in 1997 at the age of sixty-five after a battle with Lou Gehrig’s Disease. This memoir captures the essence of Harry’s character. He lived by the credo that character is what you do when no one’s looking. For Harry, doing the right thing was like breathing. Growing Up with Harry presents an insightful series of stories showing a glimpse of Harry’s life in Roxbury, Connecticut—from his work as a lawyer, to his love of dogs, and the outdoors. Offering universal life lessons, this memoir demonstrates that families are the sum of their stories. Some happy and some sad, the stories have value because they pass life lessons to the next generations.

Jessica stared at her father in disbelief as she said to herself, “No Dad, she was not mistaken. You would not believe me if I told you it was Asa. You would not believe me if I told you I wrote about Asa and that he really exists. He came for Larry. I know he did. You knew about Susie all the time, didn’t you, Asa? And that’s why, on the mountain, you said ‘children’ instead of child. I will tell Nick and he will believe me, but you wouldn’t believe me, Dad. You are such a realist. You would never believe me.”

But when she suddenly loses interest in everything she always loved, her family is understandably alarmed. Where is the bubbly, optimistic Karla they all know and love?
