I just finished reading this book before it was published thanks to Net Galley. I just finished reviewing this on Goodreads not knowing immediately how to do that here.

This is a must read I could not put this book down well my phone actually . Bob thank you for your service! You and Linda did a fantastic job raising that fine young man.

You were very good role models. My nephew is almost die with Boot Camp in the Marines. Having lost a brother in -law in the Viet Nam War I understand the pain you are experiencing.

Thank you And rest on eternal peace Staff Sargeant Michael H. Ollis

US Army Staff Sergeant Michael Ollis loved his dad and wanted to emulate his successful career in the Army. He rose through the ranks and became a very successful squad leader in Afghanistan. His primary focus was the mission and bringing all his squad back safely.

The soldiers were assisting the Afghanistan army in learning how to protect their people and maintaining their fledgling democracy.

Staff Sergeant Ollis was always drilling and reviewing tactics to keep his men prepared and safe. On the day he was critically wounded he got his men into a secure compound and left them to help secure the perimeter after a car bomb attack breached the perimeter. The action saved the life of a Polish soldier; Second Lieutenant Karol Cierpica.

The accomplishments of this Long Island, New York native are stellar. Hopefully, Congress will review his file and upgrade his medal to the Congressional Medal of Honor. 4.5 stars – CE Williams

A must red book.
I had not heard of Staff Sergeant Michael Ollis prior to reading this book. An amazing man, committed to
serving his country and protecting fellow soldiers at all costs. His sacrifices will not be forgotten.
I was crying by the end of the book - such a remarkable young man.

I received a free copy of, I Have Your Back, by Tom Sileo, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Staff Sergent Michael Ollis, is a true American hero. At only 24 years old, he did what many people could not do. This book made me cry, what a great tribute to an amazing man, who protected his own men, but men from other countries too!

I Have Your Back by Tom Sileo is one wonderfully written story about Sergeant Michael Ollis selfless journey who proudly put his family, friends and country first.
A remarkable story about sacrifices made, love and faith from a man who proudly served and sacrificed everything.
This book was an emotional read that will break your heart but at the same time make your heart swell with pride. I can't put into words how good this book was.

Thank You NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. All Mike wanted to do with his life was serve in the military just like his father. He idolized his father. When he joined the army he sacrificed many things. He met several great individuals who became like brothers to him. He sacrificed so much for our country and was a wonderful individual. A must read.
