"Meet my hero--Eric Greitens. His life and this book remind us that America remains the land of the brave and generous." -- Tom Brokaw

Like many young idealists, Eric Greitens wanted to make a difference, so he traveled to the world's trouble spots to work in refugee camps and serve the sick and the poor. Yet when innocent civilians were threatened with harm, there was nothing he could do but step in afterward and try to ease the suffering. In studying humanitarianism, he realized a fundamental truth: when an army invades, the weak need protection. So he joined the Navy SEALs and became one of the world's elite warriors.

Greitens led his men through the unforgettable soul-testing of SEAL training and went on to deployments in Kenya, Afghanistan, and Iraq, where he faced harrowing encounters and brutal attacks. Yet even in the deadliest combat situations, the lessons of his humanitarian work bore fruit. At the heart of this powerful story lies a paradox: sometimes you have to be strong to do good, but you also have to do good to be strong. The heart and the fist together are more powerful than either one alone.

"If you're restless or itching for some calling you can't name, read this book. Give it to your son and daughter. The Heart and the Fist epitomizes -- as does Mr. Greitens's life, present and future -- all that is best in this country, and what we need desperately right now." -- Steven Pressfield, author of Gates of Fire

"Vivid and compelling . . . a great read." -- Washington Times

Lightweight and soft
Size: Large, Color: Bright Blue
True to size and very comfortable. Lightweight and the color is just as the picture. They was well and don’t wrinkle easily. We dry them on low heat to avoid shrinkage and so far they have been just fine.

Great Slim-Fit Polo That Keeps You Cool on the Course
Size: Medium, Color: Dark Green, Size: Medium, Color: Dark Green
I picked up this Amazon Essentials Slim-Fit Golf Polo recently, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite golf shirts. The quick-dry fabric really works — even on hot, sunny days, I stay comfortable and dry without feeling sticky. The slim fit is flattering without being too tight, and there’s enough stretch to move freely during my swing. It’s lightweight but still feels durable, and the collar keeps its shape after multiple wears and washes. For the price, it’s hard to beat a polo that looks good, feels great, and performs well on the course. Definitely recommend if you want something simple and functional.

Excellent shirt for the $.
So far, great shirt for the $. Washed twice. No shrinkage. Few wrinkles when hung to dry. 3 minutes in the dryer solved that. I wear it for golf. Moisture wicking is great on very hot day. Was concerned the length might be too short because I wear tucked in for golf. No problems. Fit is excellent, cut on the slimmer side. I’m 5’’ 11” with a 33 waist and 41 inch chest, weigh 168. it was excellent not baggy. Not tight. I read it ran small or tight for a medium and several reviews advised to go up a size. I order the large first time and although ok, it was a bit too loose in the waist and chest and shoulder seams rode an inch or so down. I returned for the medium and perfect fit. I like collar, it’s creased firmly at the seam and won’t roll. Overall, a great value and I ordered again in green. Out of stock for other colors or would have ordered more. Long years wear is a question. We’ll see.
