Don J. Fessenden
Don J. Fessenden begins his autobiography by sharing that he never knew his father. You’ll read about how he grew up in poverty. And how his mother dropped him and his brother off at an orphanage at an early age and how he was a high school dropout.
It’s not all doom and gloom, though. It’s an autobiography celebrating his American Dream. And how his life changed once he took personal responsibility for it. Don also shares stories from his twenty-two-year career as a combat veteran. His multiple tours overseas in hazardous zones as a combat medic and flight crew member of the United States Air Force.
In addition, he pulls the curtains back a little further to expose his stories of the daily hazing he endures as a Special Forces Pararescue Trainee. And although Service Before Self was written as a legacy gift to his daughter Candice, he made sure to make it a very easy read for anyone interested in military stories.
