A warrior in his own right Charlie Koon lost his daughter Jessica Nicole Koon to domestic violence.  How do you survive hearing your daughter was murdered?  Listen to Charlie and his powerfully tender story.  A Vietnam veteran he lost his ability to cry; when he lost his brothers in the Mayaguez incident (Knife 13) he never thought he would feel again. Then he got the phone call about Jessica - listen to what happened.  Charlie says, "You have to help people through life. The only way to move forward is action." 

No where else does this saying fit more: 'Want to get through a mine field? Follow someone who has made it through.'
