I am retied after 22 years of active duty with the US Army. I hold a Master's degree in Public Administration for the University of LaVerne. The subject of the work is the uncle of my wife. All of the initial research for the book was started to answer the concerns of the Shultz family. They were unaware as to the particulars of their brother's death.
