This is the tale of John Sears Patrick Halligan, the lad from Great Kills, Staten Island, in honor of his 80th birthday.

A Korean War Veteran, NYPD and LAPD Officer, son, cousin, nephew, grandson, brother, uncle, friend, husband, father and grandfather—John has done it all and then some.

This book was written by John's youngest son, Thomas Patrick Halligan, not only for his father, but for his family to enjoy now and for generations to come.
