| Lions of Medina would not have been possible but for the veterans of
Medina themselves, their family and friends. Their generous
contribution of time through interviews, e-mails, photographs and more
are the foundation of this book. I would especially like to thank Jack
Ruffer. His time, expertise and outstanding memory make this book what
it is.
I would also like to thank editor Lisa Kusko. Lisa took my rough,
incomplete draft and honed it into a polished manuscript. Her insight,
contributions and editing skills have been invaluable.
Finally, I would like to thank the men and women who served our country
during the Vietnam War. Thank you for protecting our liberty and
freedom. A book such as this would not be possible without a free
country to write it in. |
