Author Note: This story emphasizes three of my most favorite themes: God, family, and country. If this story were to be given a movie rating, it would be G. There is no foul language, no sex (not even among the married people), some Walt Disney type violence, and I hope, reading enjoyment. -- Tami B.

This story is dedicated to:

My Dad, who taught me patriotism, love of country, that dads fiercely protect their womenfolk, and that the good guys should always win in the end. My Mom, who taught me that the best thing in life is a relationship with God and if we have Him, we will always win in the end.

Thank you, Mom and Dad. I love you.

A special thanks to my sister and best friend, Linda, who assisted me with her proofreading and editorial skills. I couldn't have done this without you, Sis.

Much accolades and applause to Karen D., our beloved DB TV website manager and list moderator, for her patience, helpful suggestions, hard work, and encouragement to bring this story to fruition. Karen, you're the best!
