I am an Ottawa Indian (registered tribal member)

My book "Last Journey" (http://lastjourney.tripod.com) was written by SSG Darrell Griffin, Jr (KIA 03/21/07) and, me, his dad, Darrell, Sr. It has received incredible reviews - NY Times, Barnes and Noble Review, Publishers Weekly - many others. Darrell Jr, and I were writing a book that compared the Iraq war to the writings of the great philosophers. General Petraeus allowed me to embed with Jr's combat unit in Baghdad to complete the book. Jr and I were troubled by the war, yet Jr was an incredible soldier. I Would greatly appreciate mention on your site.

"Last Journey" and the story of SSG Darrell Griffin, Jr and Darrell, Sr was featured on CNN.com yesterday. Here is the link:
