Oh What a Beautiful Mourning: My Life Before, During and After 9/11 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781478702184)

Memoirs of a 9/11 survivor; an inspiring story of how the events of September 11, 2001, changed my life. It has been over a decade since I survived the horrible attack on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. In the wake of that devastation I was forced to examine my life before, during, and after 9/11. This story follows my life as a normal working class African American male born and raised in the post civil rights sixties up to the horrible beginning of the new millennium. This is an amazing story of life, history, horror, spiritual growth and development. This book was not written to support any conspiracy theories or political social agendas. It is about the people, no matter how you see it. The end result of 9/11 was the loss of innocent human lives in America and in Iraq with the war that followed 9/11. This book examines the end result of failed diplomacy when world powers and religious leaders fail to resolve conflict peacefully. I love my country and I am proud to be an American. On September, 11 2001, I was ready to defend my country at all costs; however, the aftermath of 9/11 was too much to handle and left me with depression and post traumatic stress disorder. Today is a new morning, a new day, a time to create a new legacy for the world that doesn't include war and affords to all people of the world a full life and legacy for generations.
