The term True Believers has been widely used to describe individuals and groups running a gamut where they are depicted as religious, political, dedicated, fanatical and so on. In these situations, the term True Believer has been given positive or negative implications depending on the writer.
I am using the term “True Believers” in a very narrow positive context:
“Americans dedicated to ideals of the United States of America as set forth in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution are True Believers”.
In my life, I was privileged to meet and work with a great number of True Believers. My experience in the US military and the US Intelligence Community was enhanced by knowing these patriots. During that time, I also met many American civilians who treasured being American citizens and respected our nation. This select group of Americans represent those I deem as “True Believers”.
The concept of ‘American True Believers’ frames Operation Peregrine and the planned sequels for the Peregrine team.
The American characters in Operation Peregrine, military and civilians in the intelligence community, are based on actual individuals I worked with or knew about – individuals who were totally committed and devoted to the US and willing to give the “last full measure of devotion” for our country.
