"Flaps Up is a book from the heart of an amazing man. It is a chronological journey, through poetry and photos, of his life and love. But it is also an eloquent statement from the wisdom and optimism of a man who has lived life to its fullest." - Phillip Butler, CDR, USN (ret.), Warrior for Peace & Justice, Author -"Three Lives of a Warrior," more than seven years as prisoner of war in Vietnam
