Ballard 19 Author Publishes New Book About Local OIF Hero

The Post 3063 Adjutant received a tip from local writer of the “The Ballard 19”, Jerry Smith, that he recently published a book called “Valor in Iraq.” It documents the story of a 2003 Ballard High School graduate, Daniel Chavez, who died fighting for his country in Iraq.

 

Here’s a link to an article about the book, which is available on Amazon.

 

All proceeds go to the Daniel Chavez Scholarship at Ballard High School.
