I chose this book because my uncle is an amazing man. He has been a father figure to me and all of those around him by providing love, guidance, and advice. He taught us to try our best no matter what the task, to love ourselves, and to be forgiving of others. He served our Country for 25 years in the military with 7 of those being active duty and 18 being in the Air National Guard. Finally, he has strong ties to the University of Tennessee. His daughter Kristin graduated from the College of Nursing. His grandson Bryson is currently serving in the Air National Guard and is a current UT student and then there's me, his niece. Graduating from the College of Nursing (twice) and working there for 24 years now. I hope you will consider this book. My words are inadequate to describe the greatness and impact on many lives that Charles Thomas Kring has had (Marcia, you too). I love you both!
