About the Author
Major Gabe Wander (USA, RET) lived in over thirty countries with his parents and seven siblings by the time he was twelve years old. As a teenager back in the United States, a chaotic family life resulted in him leaving home and living on his own. With no direction, guidance, or money for college, and an upcoming high school graduation, Gabe enlisted in the Army at seventeen years old as a Combat Medic, and eventually became an Officer and Nurse Anesthesiologist with the Joint Special Operations Command.
Gabe has three sons and two daughters. The eldest son is eight years old, and Gabe decided it was time to gather all his ideas and assemble them so that they could have an impact on his little guys every day.

Sam wakes up early on July 4th to the news that his Dad is getting ready to deploy again. They spend an action-packed day together, learning life lessons along the way about being a man. How will Sam harness his unique impulses and strengths to deal with an aggressive bully? Will he work hard and persevere when faced with adversity? How should he handle an accidental punch during a battle royale wrestling match?
This book introduces positive male principles and ideas that have become lost or diluted over time, reinforces traditional values, and offers parents the framework to foster meaningful discussions and encourage their young men—ensuring their social, moral, and masculine development—while making the most of the time they spend together as a family.
