Praise for Forces of Character

"I coached Chad at the Air Force Academy ¿and his career as a student-athlete was exemplary; on the field he was a College Football Hall of Famer, while in the skies he was a decorated fighter pilot who served with distinction.¿ He has found an incredible array of stellar individuals to share their stories in this book. It is a must read if you truly care about the direction of our country and what we can¿ do to protect our credibility and our ethical code."
