Résumé
A decorated fighter pilot and PGA professional tells the story of his life and service-to both his nation and others-in this remarkable memoir that is a stirring record of faith, patriotism, family, philanthropy, and golf. What does it mean to be a patriot? For Oklahoma native Dan Rooney, it is someone who not only puts his life on the line for country, but who opens his heart and mind and seeks to build a life that embodies the purest and most concentrated essence of himself.
For many, Rooney is the model of a patriot: as an Air Force pilot who deployed to Iraq, serving three tours of duty; as a professional golfer who established a nonprofit foundation awarding thousands of scholarships to the children of fallen and disabled veterans; as the father of five daughters; as a man of faith, whose copilot, both in the skies and on the ground, has always been God. A Patriot's Calling is his autobiographical journey through some of the most character-defining moments of his awe-inducing life and career.
"On my third tour of duty in Iraq as F -16 fighter pilot, I felt a powerful calling from God to share the miraculous fusion of people and experiences uniquely placed along my journey. During my reflection, I began to understand how the forces of synchronicity had shaped my life. Synchronicity, or, as I like to call it, 'chance with a purpose, ' is all around us. These encounters with God's messengers are the sign-posts along the road of life guiding us toward our essence." A Patriot's Calling illuminates Rooney's true essence-and offers guidance and inspiration for us all.
A Patriot's Calling includes 40 photos and 3 maps. This is one man's journey from the cockpit of an F-16 to the fairways of the PGA-a life guided by faith and a sacred promise to serve. F-16 Fighter Pilot: Step into the cockpit for a gripping firsthand account of combat missions over Iraq and the bond between warriors who trust each other with their lives. PGA Professional: Discover how the lessons of discipline and integrity learned on the golf course shaped a life of service and led to a unique calling.
Patriotism and Sacrifice: Witness the life-altering moment on a tarmac that sparked a mission to honor the families of America's fallen and disabled service members. A Calling to Serve: Follow a journey guided by what Dan Rooney calls "chance with a purpose, " where God acts as the ultimate copilot in a life dedicated to faith and family.
