"My admiration for Ann is boundless- not just because of what she achieved but how she achieved it. Ann's story is the story of a true soldier. She ends every talk with this: "In the end we're all just soldiers, but that's the highest thing you could claim to be." Her story- and this book- will inspire anyone who wants to serve and lead."
