Summary: Informative
Review: This is a good book, especially if you are a family member and want to know the PJ's perspective. As a mom of a pararescueman in training, I was enlightened by this point of view and the support system the families developed to sustain each other during emergencies. I enjoyed this book, read it from cover to cover as soon as it arrived. I have loaned it to several other family members who are also interested in knowing what our son may be called upon to do.

Summary: That Others May Live : The True Story of a PJ
Review: This is an excellent, well done, entertaining read! Here is a female perspective from one who has an Army NCO brother, and cousins and uncles who have served in various military branches. Jack's story gave me new insight on military life and the sacrifices he, his family, and others like him have made and continue to make in service to our country. From 1986-1996 I lived in Connecticut very near Long Island Sound and remember well "The Perfect Storm" that cost a PJ's life.Especially wonderful is the support and commitment Jack and his wife have given to each other and their family. That is what a marriage should be - a partnership. I also thoroughly enjoyed the stories of the other PJs and what happened in their lives. It is good to know heroes still exist and that there are parents who will do what is best for their children, not just what is convenient for the parents. As I was reading, I often thought, "These guys are nuts!" However, it takes extraordinary men to do what they do and it is comforting to know the PJs are there for those who need them. It is heartening that, so far, it seems the PJs have been able to avoid the "kinder, gentler" political correctness that is destroying our military. I can only pray that the rest of the military and country wakes up before it is too late. God bless Jack and Peggy Brehm and the other PJs for sharing their stories with us.
