However, his journey to that moment could never be captured in a fleeting moment.\nFrom his childhood working on a farm, to his developing into a gifted athlete and artist to his joining the Army, Rush has dedicated his life to serving others. During his twenty-four-year military career, his reputation as an award-winning cook eventually led him to the Pentagon. His presence in the building when the plane struck on 9\/11\/2001 led to his suffering from PTSD, and he has become an outspoken advocate for the military and especially for wounded warriors.\nEvery step of the way, Chef Rush has overcome tremendous obstacles, including battling stereotypes and racism. And in this memoir, he shares not only his wounds and what he experienced along the road to recovery but also the optimism, hope, and hard-earned wisdom that have encouraged countless others.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0785249451\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0785249451.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rush, Andre\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
