When someone is killed in the military, his or her immediate family members are called a "Gold Star Family."

In the summer of 2012, one man was introduced to the idea of our nation's Gold Star Families in a very personal way. Since that day, that one man has worked tirelessly to find a means and method to do anything to promote the honor of any Gold Star Family in the United States; even if it meant going to another country. Born the ninth child in a family of thirteen, Anthony Price has never had it easy. And that may have been the ingredient needed to live out this story. Yours, Very Sincerely and Respectfully is that story.

Taking the closing line from Abraham Lincoln's famous Bixby Letter, the title encapsulates the message in five words better than any other description. The story laid out in this book tells everything. It tells you how it began. It tells you why Gold Star Families are important. It details the pitfalls of starting a charity, raising money, and the dangers of Riding a motorcycle nearly twenty thousand miles to get the mission accomplished.

The story explains how someone with a dream, passion, and maybe an insane amount of stubbornness will win the day. Persistence will bring ideas to light more than any other ingredient.

Without Gold Star Families, you wouldn't even have the freedom to read this.

All proceeds from the sale of the book go to the Gold Star Families.

Anthony Price is a disabled US Navy veteran who now spends his time as the executive director of the Gold Star Ride Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps families left behind when we lose a national hero in defense of our nation.

He started riding motorcycles when Richard Nixon was president and served in the navy when Ronald Reagan was president. He has worked odd jobs, invested in real estate, operated a night club, and worked on stage as an entertainer in the last thirty years. He also started and worked a computer company for 17 years.

He started writing as a hobby when Jimmy Carter was president, and has written hundreds of short stories, essays, poems, prayers, promises and satirical pieces in the last five decades. He has never been published by a major publisher or in a major publication.

When he started riding his motorcycle for Gold Star Families five years ago, the plan did not include writing a memoir or even telling the story. After being away from his wife and kids for two months, and coming home to spend a month rebuilding his marriage, he sat down and drafted the story.

It is the true story of deciding it's right to do a thing, then learning all there is to do the thing, then persuading family that you're about to do a thing, then doing a thing only to learn that everything you did to prepare was wrong, but then, doing the thing anyway.

The book tells the story of piecing together a non-profit organization from nothing; the miraculous way the pieces of the puzzle fall together, the heart breaking stories of the families that lost a mother or father, son or daughter, brother or sister in the defense of this great nation. It describes the difficulties of needing help, but help not arriving. It explains the joy of miracles showing up on the doorstep when you think all is gone and lost.

This book describes the lives of the people living in this country. It will introduce you to characters you never knew could exist. You will meet angels and saints, and you'd never know them if you saw them in your local grocery store.
