Omschrijving

Anthony Price is a disabled US Navy veteran who now spends his time as the executive director of the Gold Star Ride Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps families left behind when we lose a national hero in defense of our nation.

 

He started riding motorcycles when Richard Nixon was president and served in the navy when Ronald Reagan was president. He has worked odd jobs, invested in real estate, operated a night club, and worked on stage as an entertainer in the last thirty years. He also started and worked a computer company for 17 years.

He started writing as a hobby when Jimmy Carter was president, and has written hundreds of short stories, essays, poems, prayers, promises and satirical pieces in the last five decades.  He has never been published by a major publisher or in a major publication.

 

When he started riding his motorcycle for Gold Star Families five years ago, the plan did not include writing a memoir or even telling the story. After being away from his wife and kids for two months, and coming home to spend a month rebuilding his marriage, he sat down and drafted the story.

 

It is the true story of deciding it's right to do a thing, then learning all there is to do the thing, then persuading family that you're about to do a thing, then doing a thing only to learn that everything you did to prepare was wrong, but then, doing the thing anyway.

 

The book tells the story of piecing together a non-profit organization from nothing; the miraculous way the pieces of the puzzle fall together, the heart breaking stories of the families that lost a mother or father, son or daughter, brother or sister in the defense of this great nation. It describes the difficulties of needing help, but help not arriving. It explains the joy of miracles showing up on the doorstep when you think all is gone and lost.

 

This book describes the lives of the people living in this country. It will introduce you to characters you never knew could exist. You will meet angels and saints, and you'd never know them if you saw them in your local grocery store.
