As always, I thank my family, my inspiration. Thank you for circling the wagons and providing generous support. I love you. May God keep shining on you all!
To those who are true friends—you know who you are because you’re still here—plus our good helpers for the kids and tasks at hand, we can’t do anything without you. Thank you!
I could not have written this book were it not for our veterans, our past and present patriots in uniform who are our true heroes. Your protection of our freedom to embrace faith and family under the flag allows America to be exceptional.
Huge appreciation goes to those who tell the truth in the media arena. Those willing to seek and report truth encourage us to keep our heads up and forge ahead. You Commonsense Constitutionalists who take the shots every day (and have been doing it a lot longer than I have) yet you never retreat—keep it up. Freedom depends on you. The same goes for Prayer Warriors lifting up our country. Keep the faith.
I want to thank attorney Robert Barnett and the HarperCollins team for invaluable assistance with this book, with a special thanks to the brilliant, independent self-starter who got her start in Alaska, Jessica Gavora. Thank you for your most important work on America by Heart. We started out on opposing teams on the high school parquet, but our Alaskan roots connected us and shall grow into the influence we believe America can use today. You are an amazing Mama Grizzly.
