Описание: September 11, 2001, was a tragic, horrific day that will forever be embedded in our national consciousness. Not since Pearl harbor has there been an attack on the United States with the destruction, loss of life, and global consequences. Everyone remembers where they were on 9/11, and in this book, we have this first-hand account of what it was like to be at president bush's side as the awful events unfolded. From the moment the first plane hit, the whisper in the presidents from Andrew Card, and the infamous 7 minutes, Gwendolyn Tose'-Rigell, the Principal of Emma E. Booker Elementary in Sarasota, FL was there. She vividly recounts her memories of that terrible, fateful day. she begins with the logistical and security preparations for the presidents impending visit. She describes her personal conversations with him, the realization we are under a terrorist attack, and concludes with her observations of the president's behavior and the state of our nation in the midst of a national tragedy. She was at his side until the secret services whisked him away to the safety of air force one, and thus as known as the 9/11 Principal.

Описание:

What would you do if you were an 18-year-old Marine operating a small combat telephone switchboard on Midway Island, and you have to put the call through to your Commanding Officer, letting him know that the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor . . . this was the situation Ike Rigell found himself in on December 7, 1941. Growing up in the tiny town of Slocomb, AL, Ike never dreamed he would travel halfway around the world to fight for his beloved country in WWII, and then go onto a long and prolific career at NASA and the aerospace industry. Ike's emotional, poignant, and often humorous firsthand account of his life over the years pays tribute to our nation's history through the time-honored tradition of storytelling.
