Count the Helmets

Count the Helmets is the completion of a

thirty-year goal to write a highly accurate

story about the people that made up the

1985 AFA Falcon football team, its coaches

and players, their journey through an

extraordinary 12-1 season, and how their

shared experiences at the academy resulted

in the development of leaders of character, in

a culture of commitment, and a climate of

respect, ready to serve their country.

The success of this book, however, will be

measured by how well it helps potential

cadets, from every possible culture and

background, better understand the culture

and values of the Air Force Academy, allowing

them to make a better, more informed choice

about whether the AFA is the right place for

themor not.
