The authors of the book Bocho have roots in Appalachia. They have an honor system built into them from their heritage. They believe in the institution of marriage, and they have been married to each other for fifty- seven years. They are ingrained with the importance of manners, respect, common sense, patience, integrity, morals, character, trust, and love. Their thinking is based on their values, in order of importance: GOD, Family, and Country. GOD: The authors have an overwhelming belief in the hereafter and that GOD is in control!!! Family: We believe that much of the strength of our nation is based on the cohesiveness of our families. Each member of the family should be completely loyal to each other, to their faith, and to their country. We will always stand for our national anthem and our flag, and wonder about those who do not. Country: We live in the greatest country in the world. GOD has blessed us with much. It is important for us to use these gifts wisely: Faith, Power, & Environment. We have strong beliefs in our symbols like the flag, national anthem, armed forces, and veterans. Our HEROS are our veterans and our present uniformed military people.
