COLUMBIA, Md., June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Garrett Alston, a US military veteran who has served in both the Navy Reserves and the Army National Guard, and his fiancée Charlie Salibay-Alston, an armed security officer who hails from the Philippines, have completed their new book "A Call for Greatness: A Strokes, Heart-Attacks, and Homelessness Memoir": a collaborative effort by the authors while they plan their wedding as soon as circumstances allow.
This book was written as a memoir about what Garrett Alston, PS winner, went through during a very trying time of strokes and heart-attacks. It shows the ups and downs and the challenges he experienced and overcame by having a not-giving-up and refuse-to-lose mentality. He was in the hospital for months and then was homeless, living in his black Mamba jeep Wrangler Unlimited he affectionately called PersyGT (perseverance and good trouble). He did this while still in stroke protocol. He does not wish this on anyone but is aware that with this worldwide pandemic, a lot of people are facing challenges, of no fault of their own, and are experiencing loss of job, house, and car. He says, "Don't give up. Don't you ever give up". You do not have that luxury. Too many people need your unique life input.
He also met the love of his life on Facebook (Charlie Salibay) while homeless. God can turn bad into good, given the chance. They named it "A Call for Greatness" because the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had these quotes:
Not everybody can be famous, but everybody can be great because greatness is determined by service… You only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love.
Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
These quotes are their motivation for the title of the book because they both have a heart for servitude, and like what Sean Combs said, "Do not speak about it. Be about it." They take that very seriously and offer various tips on a variety of subjects throughout the book based on experience learned, knowledge, and good old common sense.
