In 2001, paratroopers from around the world were gathering on a website to communicate and share with each other through chat rooms, threads and strings. When the events of 9/11 unfolded and in the days, weeks and months to follow, they continued to post. This book is a historical reflection of the emotions that came from that fateful day. It is a compilation of posts as they appeared, compiled in a format that reads like a novel. The words will sadden you, horrify you, enrage you and ultimately --- change you. Included is a first-hand account of what it was like inside of the Pentagon following the attacks and a letter from President George.W. Bush.

Shadows have a way of following you. Shadows hide things. Not everyone chooses to live in shadows. Trick Mallory does. Nate McCoy just wants to escape his. In 1872, the blackness of the Civil War stretches far into the West, where soldiers run to escape the nightmares of battles won and lost and families go, heartbroken and grief stricken, to start a new. Nate McCoy's effort to escape his shadows only serves to steer his sister Isabel and Trick into a path of destruction. What they all learn is that the only real way to escape a shadow, is to draw it into the light.

In 2001, paratroopers from around the world were gathering on a website to communicate and share with each other through chat rooms, threads and strings. When the events of 9/11 unfolded and in the days, weeks and months to follow, they continued to post. Veterans posted their frustrations at not being able to serve. Active service men and women posted their rage and their resolve to protect America and seek revenge. Paratroopers from all around the world including Russia and Canada began posting words of support. They gathered, unified by one word and as one family: Airborne! This book is a historical reflection of the emotions that came from that fateful day. They were emotions, thoughts, feelings that not only impacted the military, but all of us. The words will sadden you, horrify you, enrage you and ultimately... change you. Included is a first-hand account of what it was like inside of the Pentagon following the attacks and a letter from President George W. Bush. The paperback features an index that is not available in eBook form. * * * * * Launched in 1998, in an era before Facebook, Snapchat or Instagram, Paratrooper.net served as a gathering place online for paratroopers and members of the Airborne Family to communicate and share.
