Pass It On: A Collection of Tales Told, Mistakes Made, and Lessons Learned

From paper routes in a one-stoplight town to firefights in Vietnam… from peach ice cream at the dinner table to the sound of Taps on Veterans Day, Francis Pass has lived a life rich in stories—and he’s finally written them down so his children, grandchildren, and now your family can pass them on. Told in his unmistakable voice—part front-porch philosopher, part small-town patriot, part grateful grandfather—Pass It On is a collection of true stories about the things that matter most: faith, family, sacrifice, work, wonder, and doing right by your neighbor. Inside these pages, you’ll meet: A 19-year-old soldier staring at the stars in Loc Ninh just hours before ambush. A boy who walked away from Elvis Presley because skating tickets and routine mattered more. A grandfather named “Popo,” learning that second chances don’t come with instruction manuals—but grandchildren sometimes do. Mentors like Mr. Smoot, Bob Brewer, and First Sergeant Bishop—ordinary men who modeled extraordinary leadership. And a lifetime of reminders that freedom isn’t free, peach ice cream tastes better around a full table, and life is a collection of wonderments—if you’re willing to look. Some stories will make you laugh out loud. Others might leave a lump in your throat. All of them will remind you of someone you know—or someone you miss. This isn’t a history book. It’s a legacy book. A book to share. A book to underline. A book to hand to your children and say, “This is what I want you to know.” Whether you grew up in a little Midwestern town or you’ve never set foot in one… whether you’ve served your country or simply loved someone who has… this book is an invitation: Sit under the stars. Call an old friend. Say grace. Fly your flag. Tell your stories. And pass them on. — Perfect for readers who enjoy: True Americana and small-town storytelling Memoirs of service, faith, and family Garrison Keillor, Tom T. Hall, or James Herriot–style reflections
