Freedom's Answer When the Twin Towers Fell, the Next Generation Rose!

Do you remember the tears that filled your eyes and the pride that swelled your heart as you saw the amazing acts of heroism in the days after September 11, 2001? The last thing the 9-11 terrorists wanted was to energize a generation of Americans... but that's what their horrific acts did. They made the younger brothers and sisters of Gen X take a long hard look at their safety, their mortality and their future. What did they do? America's high school students breathed life into a vision, showing how with creativity and outright determination, they got past "no" to get extraordinary results. They generated the largest voter turnout for a non-presidential election in US history and they are just beginning. This is the story of some heroes of our own -- every one of them too young to vote. And every one of them taking personal responsibility for their future -- and their country's. How they did it and where they are headed next is what this book is about. It's an easy read, because it's eloquent in its simplicity. It's a fascinating read because it's about you and me. It's a required read... unless, of course, you think "it" can't happen again. This is a call to action and a blueprint for success whether you are a freshman in high school or a senior citizen. Read it. Share it. As President Gerald Ford says, "it will move you -- and the country."
