Reviews
"""If one aspires to live a noble and meaningful life, you'll find an exemplar here. Of the many marvelous American traits, Ish's notion of 'Intoku' or ""good done in secret"" is the answer to so many of our current challenges as families, communities and Nation. Read on!"" --General Norton A. Schwartz, USAF (retired) ""In his book Mr. Wade Ishimoto shares an unprecedented dedication to the American people, constitution and service to his country. A lifelong military career in Special Forces is brilliantly portrayed by Mr. Ishimoto, and by sharing his unmatched experience he enables the reader to understand the complexity of warfare and sacrifices. Freedom is not free, and sacrifices made on battlefields globally must never be forgotten. One day future generations will be called to action, and Mr. Ishimoto's experiences will provide vital knowhow and motivation for how to endure and succeed.""--Colonel Magne Roedahl (Norwegian Army, Ret.)"
