SynopsisA #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER First responders run toward things the rest of us run away from. What makes a person want to become a first responder? As in his bestselling book Unbroken Bonds of Battle , retired Marine Johnny Joey Jones didn't have to look further than his closest family and friends to find frontline defenders--some he's known since childhood, some he served with, and others have become friends and mentors. In this book, you will meet: A game warden whose "miracle K-9" helped him save 22 lives in search and rescue missions A firefighter who chose the job over a lucrative family career A police officer who died placing his squad car between civilians and a drunk driver going the wrong way on the highway--and his sister, who responded by becoming a deputy A border patrol medic working to save lives in the desert heat A SWAT sniper describing how to handle a high-speed chase One thing all these people have in common: none of them wants to be called a hero. Their inspiring and unique stories are almost always overlooked when it comes to patri-otic recognition of service and sacrifice. With vivid storytelling, Jones brings to life dramatic res-cues, heart-wrenching losses, and awe-inspiring acts of courage. He delves deep into what drives these brave men and women, offering an intimate look at their personal and professional lives. Behind the Badge will leave you moved, inspired, and reminded of the true meaning of heroism--because these first responders are home-town heroes at heart., A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER First responders run toward things the rest of us run away from.
