Overview

Emergency personnel rush towards situations that the majority of us flee from. What motivates an individual to take on the role of a first responder? Who decides to become a police officer after her sibling falls in the line of duty? What man chooses to forgo a profitable family enterprise to work as a local firefighter instead? Why would a Mexican American veteran opt to serve as a medic for the Border Patrol, fully aware of the prejudice he might encounter? These individuals share a common trait: none of them seeks the title of a hero. First responders show up for duty daily, even when it involves facing the most horrific circumstances imaginable. Their remarkable and distinctive journeys are frequently overlooked in the context of national appreciation for service and sacrifice. In his New York Times bestselling work, Unbroken Bonds of Battle, retired Marine Johnny Joey Jones found inspiration close to home-some of whom he has known since childhood, others he served alongside, and several who have become cherished mentors. Through vivid narration, Jones brings forth dramatic rescues, devastating losses, and extraordinary demonstrations of bravery. He explores what fuels these courageous individuals, providing an intimate glimpse into their personal and professional existences. Behind the Badge will leave readers touched, uplifted, and reminded of the genuine essence of heroism-since these first responders embody hometown heroes at their core.
