TO: MOSBY. I THINK SHE WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED
THE TACTICS.

FOR: THE FAMILIES OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE
UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES. ONLY THE SACRIFICE
OF THOSE WHO SERVE CAN BE COMPARED TO THAT OF
THOSE WHO WAIT AND WORRY FOR THEM.

ACWLEDGMENTS

Again, I wish to thank my friend and agent, Russell Galen, as well as Ginjer Buchanan and all the fine folks at Roc. Im sure theyd all occasionally like to get me by the neck and choke me (as someone once famously said) out of frustration, but distance has thus far preserved me. I appreciate their patience and support.

Kate Baker still cheerfully maintains my Web site by means of benign mystical powers I cannot comprehend. As of this writing, shes been honored with a Hugo nomination. Hopefully, by the time this volume is released, shell be Hugo winner Kate Baker! Shes a great dame!

Lt. Colonel Dave Leedom, USAFR, continues trying to help me Keep em Flying, and his assistance in this respect (and others) has been particularly helpful this time around. Sorry I missed your change of command, brother, but somebody had to tape your favorite cartoons!

In the past, Ive tried to recognize the contributions made by the many great fans of this series, some posted on the Web site, others sent to me directly, but, like the list of usual suspects, this list has now grown to the point that space no longer allows them all to be named here. Thats a great shame, because they deserve recognition. Check out the Web site and youll see what I mean. Many are active-duty or veteran servicemen and -womenfrom numerous countriesand their input and service is hugely appreciated.

Special exceptions to this remain: Rebecca, Jennifer, Christine, Nancy, Dennis, Jim, Mark, Syd, Mika, Walter, Michael, Erik, Lynn, Chris, Cliff, Debbie, Dex, Gene, Jeff, Don, Lauren, Pete, Robin & Linda, Paul, Ron, Stacey, Darla, Tom, Carey, Brent, Brad, and Gordon. Some of these represent multiple people with the same names, but all continue to inspire just by being who they areeven Jim... in strange, amusing ways. Finally, I must again thank my family. They have to put up with me every dayand really could choke me if they wanted to.
