Acerca de esta escucha

First responders run toward things the rest of us run away from.

What makes a person want to become a first responder? Who would become a cop after her brother died in the line of duty? What guy rejects joining a lucrative family business to become a local firefighter instead? Why would a Mexican American combat veteran choose to work as a medic for the Border Patrol, knowing the stigma he’d face?

One thing all these people have in common is that none of them wants to be called a hero.

First responders keep going to work every day, even though that means confronting the worst situ­ations imaginable. Their inspiring and unique stories are almost always overlooked when it comes to patri­otic recognition of service and sacrifice.

As in his New York Times bestselling book Unbroken Bonds of Battle, retired Marine Johnny Joey Jones didn’t have to look further than his closest family and friends to find frontline defenders—some he’s known since childhood, some he served with, and others have become friends and mentors. With vivid storytelling, Jones brings to life dramatic res­cues, heart-wrenching losses, and awe-inspiring acts of courage. He delves deep into what drives these brave men and women, offering an intimate look at their personal and professional lives.

Behind the Badge will leave you moved, inspired, and reminded of the true meaning of heroism—because these first responders are home­town heroes at heart.

An important book that approaches the vocal and ongoing assault to our brave men and women by calmly and quietly providing a view of the work through the eyes of our military and first responders. Thought provoking and humbling to glimpse what is behind our American safety net. Thank you for the telling.

Creating a well written explanation for the uninformed about life as a first responder or soldier for the uninitiated was worth the price of admission to this book. I have been in three different uniforms, including army police and fire rescue and some of your descriptions took me right back to many of the events I have seen. Every family member of a cop or fireman or soldier needs to read this.

Best description of life as a first responder that I have ever heard or read.

At 78 years of age, I am taking stock of my life, and this book was quite helpful in that regard. I spent many years wearing a uniform and have always been grateful for the sense of purpose that allowed me.

Thank you for helping me remember the jobs of street cop and Deputy Sheriff/K-9 Officer (the best job I ever had), Marine. Also want to let you know that I had the honor of shaking Chesty Puller's hand (he was at our wedding in 1969).

Be safe and well, Staff Sergeant, and - as I used to yell at my fellow K-9 handlers who were Marines - Semper Fly! (I was Air Force)

This book serves as a powerful reminder that none of us are truly alone. The fears, doubts, and struggles—whether real or perceived—are more common than we often admit. Mental health challenges are normal, and more importantly, they’re usually not permanent or beyond repair.

Behind the Badge reinforces a critical truth: it's okay to not be okay. Reaching out for help often takes far less strength and energy than the constant effort it takes to hide pain or keep it bottled up. Left unaddressed, that pain eventually leaks out—hurting people and affecting parts of our lives that had nothing to do with the original cause.

This is a book of honesty, hope, and the quiet strength it takes to heal. Highly recommended for anyone in uniform, current or retired—and everyone who supports them.

Well Done!!!

I liked this book. The truth behind the story-the lived experience of the individuals was very eye opening.

My husband and I sat each night and listened to Joey’s voice tell the stories of some of our courageous first responders. The things that the first responders faced each call was heart stopping, sad at times and even triumphant - Protecting victims from evil people. We will be recommending this book to family.
