AJ Knauss returns with a special request to support
Operation All the Way Home.
Hi Lisa,
I have partnered with Operation All the Way Home to donate all my
book proceeds until the end of my current army tour to their
organization. OATH is a group of high school students who are building an
accessible home for SPC Jerral Hancock. On his birthday, he became
paralyzed, burned and lost his left arm in Iraq. He has two young kids
and an indomitable spirit.
As a physician I know too well that the acute trauma care we
provide is only a small part, the long road after is everything. kids and
Mr. Hancock are truly inspiring.
They are over halfway there in fundraising and I think they could
get there so quickly if word spread.
Thank you again for your support of Wisconsin authors!

Mission Statement
OATH is a grass-roots, community effort
created and organized by the Pride of the Nation students of Lancaster High
School. The mission of Operation All The Way Home (OATH) is to assist veterans of the United States Armed Forces with the acquisition of housing, both permanent and transitional. OATH also assists veterans with other needs as they relate to assimilating into civilian life after completion of their service.
OATH's current mission is to raise funds and break ground for construction of a new home for wounded warrior, Jerral Hancock, within one year. Committed to working from June 1, 2013 to June 1, 2014, the students have enlisted for a one-year "tour of duty" to make this happen.
It's just after Christmas and Alan Fries, hapless accountant, wonders why
nurses with antler hats are hovering over him. He endures a three day coma
stuck with only Jerry for company, an 87-year-old crank who died in the same
room earlier but is waiting for someone to sign the death certificate. Jerry
and Alan becomes dead flies on the wall of an aging Chicago hospital and
observe the staff...the doctor who leaves his sperm sample in the work fridge,
the veteran nurse putting the kibosh on an intern's crush, the holiday hamfork
injuries and the various nutcases who file through the ER doors. When they
uncover a billing scandal and the truth about the corrupt CEO who is
bankrupting the hospital they get to work. But can they put the proof in front
of the eyes of the living in time? Can they save the hospital before driving
each other crazy? Will Alan get resuscitated and start the bucket list he never
had? A grouchy, laugh-out-loud, heartwarming tale of how tough love shines
through the crustiest exterior.
