The world has changed forever. The battlefield of war now encompasses every possible place that humanity touches. Read the book to experience a national tragedy. Read the book to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA decade after September 11, 2001, the nation continues to mourn what was lost on that sunny Tuesday morning: nearly 3,000 lives, and the innocence of a nation that will forever be changed. The killing of Osama bin Laden on May 2, 2011 may have been a victory for the country, but for the individuals who were deeply and directly affected by his actions, his death did little to end the nightmare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeRoy W. Homer, Jr. was the first officer and co-pilot of United Flight 93; en route to San Francisco the morning of September 11, the flight was diverted to Washington, D.C., before crashing into a deserted field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Had it not been for the heroic efforts of crew members such as LeRoy, the plane would have crashed into its intended target-the U.S. Capitol-destroying more lives and the symbol of a nation united.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by Homer's wife, Melodie, From Where I Stand chronicles the events of that singular day and the \"new normal\" that ensued: media calling for a quote every time a story broke related to September 11; raising children and celebrating their milestones while living with post-traumatic stress disorder; and standing up to LeRoy's employer, United Airlines. The last ten years have been a daily struggle, yet as Melodie proves in this ultimately uplifting journey, \"there is a better future ahead.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Langdon Street Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039735562480,"sku":"9781936782741","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781936782741_p0.jpg?v=1763659146","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781936782741","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
