Everyone has a story, and this is Harold E. Thill Jr.'s. A veteran and a patriot, he recalls his years of service to his country after leaving home before graduating high school and voluntarily joining the U.S. Army, only to face the disrespect of the Vietnam draft board after being honorably discharged.
But the disrespect neither began nor stops there. Operating under the belief that mutual respect is key to a better world, Thill is often discouraged by the lack of respect found today, and in this poignant memoir, he brings to light the trend of disrespecting both those who served and those willing but not granted the privilege to serve.
