Press release from: Blooming Twig Books

When the Pentagon was attacked on 9-11, 184 heroes as little as 10 feet away from author Dan Holdridge were killed. Holdridge relates every detail of the attack and his suspenseful escape, as well as the angel who rescued him from the Pentagon that day. He weaves the stories of colorful family members and a country childhood into the horrible events of 9-11.

Pentagon Prayer is a journey through surviving our nation’s worst tragedy while learning the beauty of life. This book defies the status quo by claiming that real success is found by living in humility while giving gratitude.

Feeling handpicked by God, Dan's personal mission honors the 184 by speaking to and challenging audiences to understand the value of life through gratitude, respect and appreciation of others. His story of survival and faith is a phenomenal one.

Join Dan on December 3rd, at 1pm EST, as he tells his story, gives his take on current events, and answers questions from listeners on The Old School American Network show (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/bigdaddyfrank) sponsored by BlogTalkRadio.

Pentagon Prayer – Story of a 9/11 Survivor by Dan Holdridge will be available in trade paperback (ISBN 978-1-933918-58-7) by Blooming Twig Books and can be found on www.amazon.com. For more information please visit the author’s web site www.danholdridge.com.

Press materials are available upon request

About Dan Holdridge:
On September 11th, 2001, Dan’s life almost ended when he was injured in the terrorist attack on the Pentagon. Almost recovered physically, Dan is currently the CEO of his family business but also dedicates his time speaking to people across the country about his experience that day, what helped him heal and how he became an even stronger person than ever before. He has close ties to the USDA and the National 4-H Organization, as well as numerous universities and corporations. Although he still experiences many physical after-effects of the 9/11 attack, his approach to “appreciating” everyone around him has given him a new lease on life.
