Four weeks after Navy SEALs had killed Osama bin Laden, President Obama stood in Arlington National Cemetery to deliver his Memorial Day address. He extolled the heroism and sacrifice of the two men buried side by side in the graves before him: Travis Manion, a fallen US Marine, and Brendan Looney, a fallen US Navy SEAL. Although they were killed three years apart, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, these two former roommates and best friends were now buried together—“brothers forever.” Award-winning journalist Tom Sileo and Travis's father, Colonel Tom Manion, USMCR (Ret.), tell the intimate and personal story of how these Naval Academy roommates defined a generation's sacrifice in Afghanistan and Iraq. From Travis's incredible bravery on the streets of Fallujah to Brendan's anguished SEAL training in the wake of his friend's death and later acts of heroism in the mountains of Afghanistan, Brothers Forever is a remarkable story of war and friendship.
Brothers may squabble and fight, but when it comes right down to it, the relationship between brothers is often the closest and most enduring of a boy's life. Here, P. K. Hallinan draws on his experience of raising two sons to illustrate the many facets of the relationship. We see the boys playing together, sharing in chores, helping one another, disagreeing, and laughing themselves silly. What they know is that just being together is the best thing of all. P. K. brings his usual warmth and humor to the rhyming verse and bright watercolors.
Is there really such a thing as 'hearing your calling?' It has been said that we all have one. If so, will we know when our calling has arrived, even more importantly, will we know how to deal with it. There is also a saying that you are a product of your environment. If that is the case, does that mean if you are raised in an environment that is associated with a lot of violence such as gangs, shooting and killings that will be your destiny also, some say that is the case. In this story, Jaw-long and Frank, (both products of their environment), had been involved in the gangs, shootings and killings, will crush that saying, and will prove all the nay-sayers wrong. And along with their family and friends they will hear their calling, and they will succeed in fulfilling it. And any person or persons, that try to interfere or derail what they are trying to do, or messes with their family, will regret it. Jaw-long escapes the Chinese Mafia. Jaw-long, a master ninja assassin, and his best friend Tao are sitting in a warehouse discussing getting out of the Chinese Mafia. The problem is, the only way out is death for you and your family. Unbeknownst to them, Yingpei Fong, who resented Jaw-long, and is the son of the leader of the Chinese Mafia, was hiding in the shadows listening. After they discovered his presence, he tried to run to inform his father, and Jaw-long caught up to him. A fight ensued, Yingpei was killed and panic takes over Jaw-long and Tao. Jaw-long concluded that now is a better time than ever to escape the Chinese Mafia, so he disappears. Jaw-long meets with Frank in America, and an unbreakable bond is formed. Jaw-long, his wife and son, now lives with Frank, his wife and their three kids. They consider themselves family not friends and they have a very strong spiritual bond. The fact that they are different races is not a factor at all. Along with their friends, they now own the largest martial arts school in the area, as well as, a very successful clothing store. The Chinese Mafia catches up to Jaw-long more than twenty years later and wants him dead. But they would have to go through his family in America to get to him. Then Chinese Mafia discovers Jaw-long is alive and well and come for him in America. While Jaw-long and Frank are away, the Chinese Mafia attacks their martial arts school, killing a family member and seriously injuring three others. Frank's wife is poisoned while Jaw-long's wife is kidnapped and taken back to China. The Chinese Mafia has made a huge mistake, as they will soon find out; you don't mess with their family.

From Beau Wise and Tom Sileo comes Three Wise Men, an incredible memoir of family, service and sacrifice by a Marine who lost both his brothers in combat—becoming the only "Sole Survivor" during the war in Afghanistan. Three Wise Men details the fate of three brothers intertwined when they voluntarily enlisted in defending their homeland after the devastating 9/11 attacks. Their extraordinary tale unfurls the severe toll of the Afghan war, particularly on a single family, underscoring the profound significance of the sacrifice and the indomitable resilience of a family's courage. While serving in Afghanistan, US Navy SEAL veteran and CIA contractor Jeremy Wise was killed in an al Qaeda suicide bombing that devastated the US intelligence community. Less than three years later, US Army Green Beret sniper Ben Wise was fatally wounded after volunteering for a dangerous assignment during a firefight with the Taliban. Ben was posthumously awarded the Silver Star, while Jeremy received the Intelligence Star—one of the rarest awards bestowed by the U.S. government—and also a star on the CIA’s Memorial Wall. The legacy of their sacrifice lives on in Beau Wise's account, the only “Sole Survivor” pulled from the battlefield, forging an enduring testament to the value of loyalty, service, and familial bonds.
