On Sunday, November 15 th at 2pm at the Highlands Ranch Library there will be a Veteran's Day presentation on the book
The Making of Our Warrior - How SSG Chris Falkel Became a Green Beret Warrior and Heroby author and Gold Star father Jeff Falkel.
The Making of Our Warrior details the life of Staff Sergeant Chris Falkel from, "What made Chris - Chris," to his military training and service to August 8, 2005, in Mari Ghar, Afghanistan, when SSG Falkel sacrificed his own life while saving those of his team as well as sixteen Afghan National Army Soldiers fighting with them against the Taliban.
Jeff Falkel refers to this book as "OUR book." He feels that although he pulled the book together, it was the work of many people, from Chris' family members, to the soldiers of the Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha 316, to his friends.
Copies of the book are available at the library information desk for $25. All proceeds from the book benefit the More Than A Name Foundation and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
