The MOAA said of The Fightin’
Preacher, “Drafted out of Bible College, Weston's faith in God sustained him through three wars: World
War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Even when he was deep in enemy territory, Weston's unwavering devotion to the God he loved
and the country he served earned him a larger-than-life reputation and undying devotion from his men. Weston is one of the
most heavily decorated soldiers in American military history with more than 200 medals and awards; he is an original member
of the Army Ranger Hall of Fame. This is the true and inspiring story of the honor, courage, and faith of this great American
hero.”
