Jerry was a close friend and classmate of my older brother. They were 14 years older than me, and all I ever new was that Jerry had joined the military after high school. I remember him visiting with my mother several times after he returned from Vietnam. I had no idea what they talked about, but now I believe I have some insight into what their conversations were about. I found myself totally engaged in the book. I also found myself torn as I learned what Jerry had to go through. God bless Jerry Lilly and all his brothers.
