About the Author As a youth, dyslexia stymied his formal education but did nothing to blunt is extraordinary native intelligence, his will to excel and his ultimate success. Being forced to leave home as a mere lad be-cause there were too many other mouths to feed would have broken lesser men. But the severely malnourished seventeen-year-old who showed up at an Army recruiting office in Columbus, Georgia went on to a successful military career that would lead to his induction into the Ranger Hall of Fame. Today, Thomas draws on his rich life experiences and deep faith to serve as a leader of his community and church. He lives with his wife Marji in his native Georgia.

The Making of a Hero by Captain of Infantry Daniel J Hill, St. Augustine FL By Bob Evans Captain of Infantry Daniel J Hill St Augustine.[Why Tom Bragg Fought] 1) Frustration with the lot dealt him in life . He was punishing himself for his own shortcomings. 2) He wasn’t fighting individuals or groups he was fighting the world because it had short changed him - fighting back. 3) Fighting and being able to endure punishment was the one thing he could do well and be anybody’s equal.The ranger-ethos was actually therapy for him. It gave him status and self image not just equal to others but superior to others. Over time being a Ranger and Ranger-leader overrode his beginnings and gave him self worth and confidence. Granted there were small relapses when for one reason or the other he was returned in his subconscious mind, to his beginnings and the unfairness of his youth; then he struck back and reverted back to the private Tom Bragg responses of fighting back at the world. To his loss.The biggest behavior modifying influence on Bragg was the other Rangers he became associated with. He was accepted, even admired for his strength, skill, and positive attitude by his Brother-Rangers who emphasized his assets and ignored his deficits, because the assets overrode the deficits. Toms psyche needed acceptance and equality - He received that amongst Rangers - That was a great healing and growth or maturation factor.Once Tom had responsible positions and duties, obligations and trust from Ranger-Brothers he responded by shunning conduct that would defame or injure, not primarily himself, but the Ranger reputation and image.After he was placed in leadership positions he became almost obsessed with his responsibility to train, improve and protect his subordinates and set the example in personal conduct. He still possesses that and demonstrates it daily in teaching the young and being an aid to his community.Tom could always think on his feet, his fearless attitude was contagious. Who better to have next to you when putting your life on the line? There was no one that could equal Tom in a fight, hand-to-hand, or with weapons . Combat engagements are won by those willing to put everything on the line - and those led by men like Tom who know all about fighting; and Tom did give all / everything.Toms combat record is legendary - I gain a lot being able to say “I know Tom Bragg”. We served together as enlisted men in the Rangers. One of my biggest regrets and disappointments as an officer was that I could never beg, barrow, or steal enough to get Tom Bragg assigned to my unit - a shame - we’d have dazzled the enemy and the U.S. Army, with science and stupefied them with footwork. Unfortunately as Tom said “yeah we’d have done that alright but ended up private E-1’s at Leavenworth prison”- it might have been worth it. As an officer and Toms Commander I would have never issued an order without him throwing holly-water on it. If you want to defeat I’S’I’S and Terrorism today call Master Sergeant Tom Bragg back to active duty and order him to sort it out, it wouldn’t be pretty - job done.Faith, instilled in Tom young, God, and His benevolent protection, has been a tremendous influence on Bragg - He Tom, has attempted and succeeded in passing on Gods guidance and protection through his teaching, guiding and mentoring the young and subordinates.The biggest event and greatest personal achievement in Toms life was his inauguration into the Ranger Hall of Fame - That is the ultimate acceptance and honor in life that any soldier could even dream of and hope for. Some say even congruent to the Medal Of Honor.He has overcome, adapted and conquered. There is no comparison to Master Sergeant, Ranger Tomas A Bragg, and that lost seventeen year old floundering youth that left Nankipooh Ga. seeking a place in the world.He is today one of the greatest men /soldiers and success stories I know of - “A Hero” -“A Great Read”.

Pretty roughly written but understandable given the authors past education By 10mmg Interesting life story of never giving up and accepting can't for an answer. Pretty roughly written but understandable given the authors past education. Some sections you had to read twice to understand the point. Some chapters rambled and I wasn't sure why the story went where it did. Almost reads like a diary or journal. A worth while read
