Infos

A decorated fighter pilot and PGA professional tells the story of his life and serviceto both his nation and othersin this remarkable memoir that is a stirring record of faith, patriotism, family, philanthropy, and golf.What does it mean to be a patriot? For Oklahoma native Dan Rooney, it is someone who not only puts his life on the line for country, but who opens his heart and mind and seeks to build a life that embodies the purest and most concentrated essence of himself. For many, Rooney is the model of a patriot: as an Air Force pilot who deployed to Iraq, serving three tours of duty; as a professional golfer who established a nonprofit foundation awarding thousands of scholarships to the children of fallen and disabled veterans; as the father of five daughters; as a man of faith, whose copilot, both in the skies and on the ground, has always been God. A Patriots Calling is his autobiographical journey through some of the most character-defining moments of his awe-inducing life and career. On my third tour of duty in Iraq as F -16 fighter pilot, I felt a powerful calling from God to share the miraculous fusion of people and experiences uniquely placed along my journey. During my reflection, I began to understand how the forces of synchronicity had shaped my life. Synchronicity, or, as I like to call it, chance with a purpose, is all around us. These encounters with Gods messengers are the sign-posts along the road of life guiding us toward our essence. A Patriots Calling illuminates Rooneys true essenceand offers guidance and inspiration for us all. A PatriotsCalling includes 40 photos and 3 maps.
