Opis

Thousands took part in the Pentagon recovery effort following 9/11, but few knew exactly what they were signing up for. The 3rd United States Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), sent its soldiers to contribute where they could, as best they could. In this book, soldiers of The Old Guard share their experiences.
