Acknowledgments
Freedom, justice, and health are difficult but fundamental components of a thriving society. We must be careful in maintaining a balance among these components. We are privileged to live in a free and wealthy United States because of those who have come before us and their dedication to founding principles. This book is dedicated to the men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, their loved ones, and those who have served them. Jack Tsai
