Col. (ret) Will
Merrill’s book “9/11- Ordinary People: Extraordinary Heroes- NYC- The First
Battle in the War against Terror!” has been selected as the 2011 Book of the
year by Military Writers. (military-writers.com).
Col. Merrill
said, “I feel honored to be the spokesman for so many heroic people and their
families and friends.”
Col. Merrill
conducted more than 60 interviews with individuals involved with the rescue
efforts after the two planes crashed into the World
Trade Center.
Interviews include Mayor Rudy Giuliani,
Congressman Peter T. King, who wrote the introduction, NYC Fire Commissioner
Sal Cassano, two department chiefs of the Port Authority Police Department, the
senior deputy chief of the New York City Police Department and many others to
relate the chaos, danger and heartbreak they witnessed.
Through this
collection of photographs and interviews, Merrill highlights the bravery and
heroism displayed by firefighters, police officers and civilians on and
following the events of September 11th. Merrill also hopes that
these unsung heroes get proper treatment for any physical or mental health
ailments trigged by that day, such as lung cancer and post-traumatic stress
disorder. Most importantly, he hopes that America and Americans will remain on
alert for terrorist activity so that future tragedies are prevented. “Ordinary People: Extraordinary Heroes” is available
for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels. An eBook version is available on Amazon’s
Kindle, Apple’s iBook and Barnes and Noble Nook. More information about the book is available here:
