As wise, practical, and inspiring as any I have ever
seen."--Gen. (Ret.) Fred M. Franks, U.S. Army
"I have worked with Rick in helping take care of our soldiers and
their families during these difficult times, and the leadership
principles listed in this book are an invaluable guide on how to
accomplish that goal. Those principles apply not only in the
military but also in corporate America, in academia, and even in
the entertainment industry."--Gary Sinise, actor and founder
of the Gary Sinise Foundation
