Editor’s Note: This is the final edition of this book. As the editor, I have chosen to remove all epilogues, to honor those who gave their lives so that this book could exist. In place of the epilogue, I have collected their stories, the moments, the sacrifices, the voices that could not be silenced. I call this section the Back Story Stories. To honor their work and the efforts of every Hero Writer, I have preserved their lines exactly as they spoke them, keeping the rawness, the urgency, and the tone of their words. Every fragment is a testament to the journey, and every story here is a hero’s truth.
