Set in rural New Hampshire, Pop's Last Ride tells the true-inspired story of Joseph Powell - a Marine shaped by World War II, hardened through Korea and the Vietnam era, and defined by duty both in uniform and at home. Between deployments, Pop returned to his farm, where he and his strong-willed wife raised two spirited sons under the guidance of a father who led by expectation and example.
Strong, fearless, and fiercely independent, Pop lived life on his own terms - riding his Harley with his bride in a sidecar and commanding respect wherever he went. But when illness strips away his strength and independence, the old soldier faces his final battle.
Told by his youngest son, this powerful memoir follows a lifetime of service, family, and love, culminating in one last journey - a controversial and deeply human farewell carried out with grace, humor, and courage.
