Tango Mike Mike: The Story of Master Sergeant Roy P. Benavidez

by Yvette Benavidez Garcia

Overview

Roy P. Benavidez is a man who struggled through disappointing circumstances as a young child, overcame prejudice and discrimination, conquered paralysis, fought through two tours in Vietnam and became an American icon, a hero. Roy never took credit for being a hero. In fact, he'd always say, "I am not a hero. The heroes are the ones who never came back. The heroes are the ones who are laying in their graves... the ones who gave up their tomorrows for our todays." This is the story of what made Roy the man we all admire. The story of what made him a Legend.

About the Author

YVETTE BENAVIDEZ GARCIA writes stories based on her life experiences. Her father is a great source of information for most of her stories, as well as her children. In addition to writing, Yvette likes capturing the moment by taking pictures of her family and friends. She also enjoys the challenge of copy-catting her family's favorite restaurant meal and turning it into a healthier version (of course!). When she can sneak away for a moment, Yvette loves to garden, swim, watch movies, travel and practice Yoga (Namaste). Yvette was born in Fort Riley, Kansas, and currently lives in Texas with her husband, Ren, and their two children, Ryan Michael and Morgan Paige. She is a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin, an Army brat, and her family is a proud supporter of our military. The family is also parents to their dog Zoey (a.k.a. Jo Jo), and 5 chickens (Napoleon, Pedro, Kip, Lafawnduh, and Deb.)
