Dedication
To Kelly, Casey, Tori, and Katy
For a lifetime of continuous support, love, and inspiration
To Muslima and Mohammed
For unconditional love, unremitting encouragement, and strength
To Jake, Alyessa, Rukhsar, and Sakina
A new generation and reasons for making the world safer
And to all those “brothers and sisters” of the personal protection
fraternity who would stand in the line of fire to safeguard another.
IN MEMORIAM
President Gerald R. Ford,
(July 14, 1913—December 26, 2006)
Whom I served with great respect.
A man who believed in “doing the right thing”
for all the right reasons.
He was exactly the right person, for the right job,
at the right time.
