Count the Helmets is the completion of a
thirty-year goal to write a highly accurate
story about the people that made up the
1985 AFA Falcon football team, its coaches
and players, their journey through an
extraordinary 12-1 season, and how their
shared experiences at the academy resulted
in the development of leaders of character, in
a culture of commitment, and a climate of
respect, ready to serve their country.
The success of this book, however, will be
measured by how well it helps potential
cadets, from every possible culture and
background, better understand the culture
and values of the Air Force Academy, allowing
them to make a better, more informed choice
about whether the AFA is the right place for
themor not.
