In “Pentagon Prayer,” Dan Holdridge shares his personal experience on 9/11/01 and how he survived our nation’s worst tragedy while learning his purpose of life.

New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 11/08/2010 -- All Americans remember where they were on September 11, 2001. When the Pentagon was attacked on 9-11, 184 heroes as little as 10 feet away from author Dan Holdridge were killed.

Now, Dan travels the country delivering high impact motivational speeches and inspiring people nationwide. “You don’t have to live through a terrorist attack to learn from one,” writes Holdridge in the first major memoir written by a survivor of the events of 9/11 at the Pentagon.

Dan will visit Skaneateles, NY to share his book and inspirational story with the community with a book signing at Creekside Books & Coffee this Sunday, November 7th, from 3-5pm.

In Pentagon Prayer, Dan challenges his readers to appreciate the life they are living right now, while appreciating the people around them for the contributions they made. His book defies the status quo by claiming that real success is found by living in humility while giving gratitude. He paints a remarkable picture of family, country, and appreciation while helping his readers find an answer to the most important question: “Why am I here?”

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 http://www.amazon.com. For more information please visit the author’s web site http://www.danholdridge.com.
