Mr Sinise Gary Sinise - I would like bring to your attention to a book that has been written about another fallen Marine; LCPL David Baker. ( From Yellow Ribbons to a Gold Star: Biography of a Hero: Lcpl. David R. Baker, USMC ) From Yellow Ribbons to a Gold Star; the Biography of a Hero: Lcpl David R.Baker by TM Fitzgerald (Fitz T-e) This biography is a series of accounts of this young Marines life by family, friends, and his brother Marines but it is wonderfully put together. Even though this well lived life ended sadly in Afghanistan, it is very inspirational story and one that many can use as an example of how someone can effect so many in such a short time. He was a typical boy who grew up and followed his dream and calling to serve his country in the United States Marine Corps. In many ways Davids name can be any one of our boys who are serving, who have served and paid the ultimate price for our freedom. It is a great insight into the type of young men who serve, why they serve and who they really are. I bring your attention to this particular story because it is just a typical story of a quite hero, not one of fame and fortune but one of a quite, brave Lance Corporal who was compelled to serve like thousands of others and is one of many, many young men who didnt come home to live out what would of been a promising life and future. From the Author: Everybody has heard about yellow ribbons and have seen how we rally support for our military by hanging them on fences or tying them to trees or even wearing the seemingly obligatory flashes of gold on our collars. But how many know about Gold Stars? This book is the biography of a young Marine who had his life taken from him while leading his squad on foot patrol in Afghanistan. Before giving his life for his country, during his time on this earth, David Baker made powerful impacts on the many lives he was given so briefly to touch. When he didnt get to come back home to tell his own story, his family, friends, and brother Marines determined to tell it for him. From Yellow Ribbons to a Gold Star is the story of a little boy who grew up to be a United States Marine and in the process left indelible marks upon the world. This book is not just another story about some Marine; its the story of a man who changed the world...at least for what little time he was allowed.
