Introduction - Saving private Bowman
On the rain-swept bluffs overlooking Omaha Beach, I wept before the grave of a man I had never met.
It was October, 2014—and at the age of 90 I had finally made my way to the hallowed ground of the American Cemetery at Normandy: The final resting place for 9,387 souls, most of whom lost their lives in the fighting of June, 1944 and the months that followed.
100% of Proceeds for Charities
Walter has been profiled in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal and Newsday. He is a career businessman who participated in the tech boom of the 1990s, produced a Hollywood film, and helped set up a successful oil & gas company with his sons.
Inspired by a meeting with Mother Teresa — who told him to always “honor the caretakers” –, he has long been a philanthropist, and through the Vera and Walter and Scherr Foundation all proceeds from this book will be for the benefit of The Center for Discovery.
When people ask Walter what it takes to be happy, his response is always the same:
First, a moral code to follow.
Second, a cause to serve, and
Third, a goal to believe in.
