Description

"It's more than just history and it's not even just his story...it's a challenge for each of us to face the man in the mirror" FDNY Lieutenant Mickey Kross (Ret.), 9/11 SurvivorCrawl through the 110 stories worth of mangled steel, clouds of smoke and fire with Ron Parker in attempt to rescue thousands of civilians and first responders trapped beneath the fallen twin towers.His only choices are to be a chief, a pawn or a warrior, because being a victim is never an option. Join this first-hand account with original photos and walk with Ron as he uncovers a fresh foothold on his trek to find closure and move forward after the impossible parts of life. Learn why we don't have to choose to be victims. We can choose to be a chief who leads the way towards a cause, a pawn who follows a chief to get the work done or a warrior who actively defends a cause. By the grace of God, he survived this devastating situation and has a chance to choose how he will face tomorrow. God has given us all that same choice.
