Grace
We had an amazing number of rich and powerful people in the Cowboys when we started. And slackers like me. The fact is that nobody expected us to deploy anywhere, so some strings were pulled to get people into our sleepy little reserve Marine squadron. Boy, were those stringpullers in for a surprise. I asked Grace once if she’d known what was coming. She just smiled and said she picked Daniel because he was a fighter. I asked if she would have still picked him if she knew everything that would happen and she smiled again. She chose the son of a president as her partner and she always worked to bring dignity to his role. Knowing Daniel like I do, she had a long and hard road when it comes to that. But she was always a very patient partner.
