He is the first to tell the story other books and films have omitted, one of overcoming overwhelming odds to accomplish a mission: to bring every American soldier home.

In the desert of Southern Utah there was a rabbit with ears that were wider than normally wide and longer than normally long. He hated his BIG ears. His frightening encounter with a barb wire fence and a rancher's son changed his life. He learned an important lesson on how to change his fears and weaknesses into his strengths.I dedicate this book to my sons and daughters for insisting that I publish this book. Special thanks go to Paul Lillywhite, since the book would not be complete without the wonderful illustrations.
