Soldier, Policeman, Patriot is the story of one man who decided early in life that he wanted to do the right thing in all contexts, for everything and everyone that he touched. He joined the Army at age 16, to defend his country at the outbreak of World War II. Twenty years later, he left as a decorated officer who survived three wars, saved many lives and fulfilled his destiny to serve and protect. David E. Teich Sr.'s story is one of commitment and passion for protecting the world in which he is an active participant. He accomplished what he aspired to do and did it in a manner that teaches us everything there is to know about believing in our country, our community and our fellow citizens. As you share this journey, you will recognize his drive and ambition coupled with modest beginnings and a world short of courageous acts. David wanted better for himself and his family. No matter what he did, he taught his sons and the rest of the world that he was serious about giving back to his world, succeeding in doing so into the present.
