In particular this 2ndedition of Volume I of the Dragon's Fury Series is dedicated to those service
personnel who have served in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom
in Iraq who have carried out their duties so bravely and effectively in making our world safer for liberty
loving people everywhere.

Unlike fiction, these real life heroes have placed everything on the line for freedom and our way of life
and have provided the proper, appropriate and honorable legacy for those victims of terror and tyranny
whose lives were so ruthlessly and brutally cut short on September 11, 2001. This 2ndedition is most
particularly dedicated to those service personnel who gave their all, their very lives in that endeavor.
