DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to military families like my family.

To my wife, the love of my life, Lolita, my children Jennifer,

Wolfgang, Konrad, my son-in-law Jack, and my two amazing

granddaughters Matilda and Charlotte. Life for any military

family is hard. Life for a SEAL Team family is harder. I spent

years missing birthdays, family dinners, tucking my kids in at

night, and anniversaries. Lolita was left raising a family alone

with the uncertainty of my return. Thank you for understanding

and waiting for me, no matter how long it took to get home.
