Product Description
From the author of Lighting the Way, comes An American Knight: The Life of John W. Ripley, USMC. The first cradle-to-grave biography of the great American hero Colonel John Ripley.
War hero and devote Catholic, Colonel Ripley is most commonly known for his heroics in Vietnam during the Easter Offensive of 1972, where Colonel Gerald Turley ordered him to “hold and die,” in the face of over 30,000 North Vietnamese and 200 enemy tanks. John Ripley proceeded to blow the Dong Ha bridge, preventing the enemy from crossing. He unhesitatingly obeyed and earned the nation’s second highest honor, the Navy Cross.
Norman Fulkerson reflects on what made Colonel Ripley such a larger-than-life figure — and why we should emulate his moral courage. 33 illustrations.
