For Love of Pete (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780977191611)

This is the story of a skinny Italian boy from an immigrant Sicilian family who goes to war to fight for his country and ends up playing the taps on Mount Suribachi as the colors are raised. Travel with Peter as he explores the journey from boyhood to manhood and experiences a terrible battle in the fight for American freedom along the way. Learn the Sirna family secret and what it meant to Peter to be a real American boy; but most of all, take the time as Peter did to give tribute to those brave American men and boys who died on the battlefield of Iwo Jima. This is Peter's story, the story of the boy who played the taps on Iwo Jima.
