FTC Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book. These are my honest thoughts.
“Bernie recalled the Coast Guard's official motto: Semper Paratus, Latin for ‘Always Ready.' However, it was the unofficial Coast Guard motto that now weighed heavily in his mind: ‘You have to go out, but you do not have to come back.'”
Spectacular version of the Pendleton rescue account. Wonderful to read with children and teens. I loved that the heroes were humble even after fame knocked on their doors. True heroism is about the hard work, and that was showcased here.
