Soldier’s last message to sons inspires others

A dying soldier wrote a book to the three sons who must grow up without him. The book, "Tell My Sons," serves as a last message to his boys, but they also inspired one of America’s top military men during the toughest time in his life.

Mark Weber and his family join Raising America to talk about their family’s experience. We also hear from General David Petraeus about the impact the book made on his life.

Watch Raising America every week day at 12 p.m. ET on HLN. And be sure to tweet @KyraHLN with the #RaisingAmerica hashtag or leave your thoughts on Facebook.com.
