Jim Serger
Solely the messenger, Serger has assembled over 60 stories from actual firefighters, all recalling how that fateful day in September 2001 affected their lives.
Bond of Firefighters shares individual and very personal stories from firefighters across the nation as they remember that fateful day. From a Battalion Chief to a college student who became a firefighter due to 9/11, from the roughneck to the volunteer, they all share their story in this book. It's a story of a common bond among individuals who thrive on teamwork. Every firefighter in this book remembers their whereabouts that day, just like we do. They remember who they were with, just like we do. They remember what steps they took, when they got word of the events unfolding in D.C., Shanksville and New York, just like we do. September 11th, the community spirit was thriving in the United States, we were a united nation of people who wanted to step up and help. 9:11 A Time To Always Remember: Bond of Firefighters shows us that message loud and clear. We must never forget; we must always remember...
Aside from a few color photos, Bond Of Firefighters is ripe with compelling black & white images from the patriots detailed in the book. Perhaps it's a somber and fitting salute, since the remains of a fire are often black & white ashes.
If you're a true American patriot, a first responder, retired or active military, or an historian, then Serger's latest release is a must have coffee table book. A nice blend of easy-to-read short stories and compelling images.
