Fascinating Books Provide Information on What It Takes to Take on
One of These All-important, Rewarding Careers The harrowing events
of September 11, 2001, put in the spotlight heroic individuals who
choose to work as search and rescue specialists. Whether it's the
Coast Guard, FEMA, emergency medical response teams, police
departments, the National Guards, or fire departments, when
disaster strikes, we can be thankful that these men and women are
there--fully trained, on the alert, and ready to go. These books
celebrate what it takes to be one of these brave individuals as
well as discuss what day-to-day life on the job is like--all
written in an informative yet easy-to-read manner that gives young
readers insight into how they too can aspire to make a difference.
Only hours after the 9/11/01 attacks on the World Trade Center and
the Pentagon, the National Guards were ready to join in the search
and rescue efforts. This well-written title alerts readers to the
important role these citizen-soldiers play as the first line of
defense for many types of state and federal emergencies. More than
just militia men and women, members of the Army and Air National
Guards provide emergency relief during floods, blizzards, rescue
missions, energy blackouts, and civil unrest. Complete with
first-person accounts, this book contains the fascinating history
of the National Guard, enlistment requirements for men and women,
and training opportunities.
