In The Shadow of Greatness: Voices of Leadership, Sacrifice, and Service From America's Longest War – The U.S. Naval Academy Class of 2002 Edited by Joshua Welle, John Ennis, Katherine Kranz, and Graham Plaster with Forward by David Gergen
It's about the 1st USNA class to graduate after 9/11 and in a time of war since Vietnam.
I just bought it and it is fantastic and includes stories by or of a few Naval Aviators including LT Jay "MJ" ("Mary Jo") Consalvi and LT Meagan "Vargas" Varley from Speed & Angels as well as fallen Marine "Herc" driver from OEF, Capt. Matt Freeman, USMC.
A look inside preview is here: http://shadowofgreatness.com/lookinside
And this is the Facebook page for it: https://www.facebook.com/InTheShadowOfGreatness
They are having a bunch of book signings on both coasts with the national kickoff beginning tomorrow on 9/11 at the Navy Memorial in Washington D.C: http://shadowofgreatness.com/book-tour/
And proceeds this week (Patriot Week) are going to go to the 8 named charities on the website.
Feel free to pass the word if you support the initiative.
