A Story That Lives Beyond These Pages I wrote this book not only for him, but for everyone who seeks to understand what true honor looks like. To share with the world the life of a man of honor-whose example teaches us that courage is not about never being afraid, but about loving something-someone-so much that you face every fear to protect them. I hope as you read this story, you will not only see the life of my father but also fi nd refl ections of your own fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters-those who have fought quietly to keep us safe, who have sailed through life's roughest seas without complaint. This book is for him-but it is also for you, the reader, so that his lessons of love, sacrifice, and honor can live on. - Eleni Kapatou
