The No-Fail Mission

The men and women behind the Presidential Service Badge

About this book

The No-Fail Mission. We hear these words, but do we truly understand their meaning?

This book, which profiles ten American servicemembers who earned the Presidential Service Badge, takes us into that world and the challenge that comes with supporting the Office of the President, through situations, large and small.

The stories that you will read speak to the stress, exhilaration and yes, even the humor, which comes with being connected to this "beating heart" of American Democracy. They include:

• Find out what it was like to travel with President Bush on 9/11 as word began to trickle in about the attack that changed the world.

• Find out what it was like when one recipient made an emotional return home to New England aboard Air Force One as President Obama arrived in Boston to pay tribute to victims of the Boston Bombing.

• Find out what it was like when one recipient discovered some history of his own in the walls of the White House: nails left from what may have been the original construction of the building at the world's most famous address: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

"Simply put, these men and women represent the best of America, and I'm glad that this book gives you the opportunity to know them and to know their character as I do."

--- Gen. Charles C. Krulak (Ret.)

31 st Commandant of the Marine Corps

Proceeds from the book will go to a scholarship fund for families of Presidential Service Badge recipients.
