This Sunday on Topics, I talk with Navy Lt. Commander Josh Welle, the creator of a new book. In the Shadow of Greatness: Voices of Leadership, Sacrifice, and Service from America's Longest War, is a compilation of stories from the U.S. Naval Academy Class of 2002, and how the events of 9/11 affected their lives.
Welle, the 2002 Class President, compiled and co-edited the book. Following 9/11, he and his classmates faced the prospect of graduating from the Naval Academy and being deployed to Afghanistan as a result of the attacks. He speaks of September 11th as the glue for the narrative of what he calls the "9/11 Generation."
The book was released Tuesday on the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Demand for In the Shadow of Greatness has been very high on Amazon.com.
