You Had a Good Home, But You Left...

""Congressman Pearce has shown true dedication to serving our country in both the U.S. Air Force and in Congress. This memoir encapsulates the traits that make him a great leader: his tireless dedication to public service, commitment to faith and family, and ability to overcome even the most difficult hurdles.""-U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn""With the heart of a soldier and the perspective gained as a Congressman, Steve Pearce pays powerful homage to the courage and sacrifices of our nation's heroes. You Had a Good Home, But You Left... encourages each of us-civilians and veterans alike-to honor those who have so bravely served our country and understand the depth of their sacrifice and service.""-Michael Pompeo, U.S. Secretary of State (2018-21)""You Had a Good Home, But You Left... beautifully captures one man' s journey in life--which is often takes place in flight--as he grows in mind, body, and spirit. No matter what the challenge, Stevan Pearce-who is the very essence of the American dream-shows us in many relatable ways and at various stages of life what is possible by walking in faith."" -Kimberly Reed, Chairman, President, & CEO, Export-Import Bank of the United States (2019-21)""Congressman Pearce understands that truly honoring our veterans-remembering their lives and legacies, acknowledging everything they have sacrificed, and supporting them in the aftermath of their service-isn't just an option. It is a sacred duty we share as citizens of this country. You Had a Good Home, But You Left... is a moving tribute to the men and women who served, and sacrificed, and never made it home."" -Jason Chaffetz, Fox News Contributor, Congressman (2009-17)""What a story! I felt like I was inside Steve's mind in a very close discussion on how he was going to die, quietly, or . . . stay alive, loudly. And I'm left thinking about what I would have said if I were sitting beside him at every critical moment-knowing how important it is to believe in the strength of the mind, not just the body. I found myself wondering, page by page, how he was going to make it. Steve's story can never be duplicated. I was pulled into his life for one beautiful, intimate journey-one I would never attempt myself. Still, I felt like I was sharing his dream . . . and maybe much more than that.""-Lance Tarrance, former Managing Director of Gallup China ""You Had a Good Home, But You Left... reminds us that honoring our country's veterans requires more than a ceremony. It requires action, remembrance, and ongoing service. Steve Pearce's memoir speaks to a deeper truth: service doesn't end when the uniform is removed-it lives on in how we remember, care, and lift each other up, and in the community we build by doing so."" -Congressman Jeff Miller (2001-17), Chairman of the Veteran Affairs Committee (2011-17)
