A Story That Lives Beyond These PagesI wrote this book not only for him, but for everyone whoseeks to understand what true honor looks like.To share with the world the life of a man of honor-whoseexample teaches us that courage is not about never being afraid,but about loving something-someone-so much that you faceevery fear to protect them.I hope as you read this story, you will not only see the life of myfather but also fi nd refl ections of your own fathers, mothers,brothers, and sisters-those who have fought quietlyto keep us safe, who have sailed through life’s roughest seaswithout complaint.This book is for him-but it is also for you, the reader, sothat his lessons of love, sacrifice, and honor can live on.- Eleni Kapatou
