Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 9/11 is more commonly associated with New York and the World Trade Center than with the Pentagon, whose destruction received far less coverage. But those who helped extinguish the fires, tend to the wounded, and clean up the aftermath will never forget such a loss. Thousands took part in the Pentagon recovery effort following 9/11, but few knew exactly what they were signing up for. A nearby Army unit, the 3rd United States Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), sent its soldiers to contribute where they could, as best they could, and in any capacity they could. In this book, soldiers of The Old Guard have elected to share their experiences. Their accounts attest to the honor and camaraderie that were necessary for picking up the pieces, as well as the traumatic effects of being enveloped in the aftermath of tragedy.

Download or read book Rising from the Ashes the True Story of 9 11 and Recovery Team Romeo written by Tony Zeoli and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "They're all right here ... gone. Every one of them pulverized into dust. When those towers came crashing down, it was like they were all caught in a giant food processor." On September 11 2001 the world stopped. An attack on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center in New York on a serene September morning changed the course of world history. The final death toll from the iconic twin towers reached 2,606. Thousands were never found, as retired New York police officer Tony Zeoli's harrowing eye-witness account, about the search-and-recovery effort, so graphically records. Tony was a founding member of a group of retired police officers who became known as Recovery Team Romeo - a dozen men who spent nearly nine months searching for bodies at Ground Zero and refusing to be paid for it. These men instantly came out of retirement, made their different ways to the site and worked as an independent recovery team. They have become a Police Department legend. But such personal sacrifice - such heroism - exacted a terrible price on these individuals whose lives could never be the same after they passed through the 'gates of hell' and descended into that awful pit to recover the dead. Rising From The Ashes is a powerful and compelling account of the aftermath of 9/11. Praise for Tony Zeoli "The Night-Comer is a winner. Written by a man who lived in the world of treachery, violence and fanaticism...A must read in today's world." - Renee Valente, award winning Executive Producer Taken from the pages of what's happening today and what's happening tomorrow. This is a red alert from a cop who has lived with the danger." - Sonny Grosso, Producer of The French Connection Tony Zeoli is a retired Lieutenant with the New York Port Authority Police Department (PAPD). After the 9/11 Terrorist Attack on the World Trade Center in 2001, Tony spend over eight months as part of the PAPD Emergency Services Operations Team searching Ground Zero for remains of those who died in the attack. He is also a consultant for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Tony has also written police fiction books, including 625 8th Avenue, the address of the New York Port Authority Bus Terminal, The Night Comer and The Twelve Disciples: City of Fear.

Book excerpt: "The real voices of 9/11 are here, and they will echo down through history as a haunting reminder of loss and hope, courage and heroism." -- Tom Brokaw On September 11, 2001, waves of shock rippled through the country as the United States came under terrorist attack. Never Forget collects the unbelievably moving stories of survivors, rescue workers, volunteers, family members, and friends whose loved ones perished on that day -- from the moments the planes first struck the Twin Towers through the painstaking recovery efforts. As these unforgettable stories reveal, many Americans transcended their own confusion and despair to help one another escape, to offer one another kindness, and to affirm life in the face of catastrophe. This concert of voices shows, as never before, the heartbreaking grief and slow, but uplifting, healing process that the people of this nation have experienced individually and as one.
