One of These All-important, Rewarding Careers The harrowing events
of September 11, 2001, put in the spotlight heroic individuals who

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

readers insight into how they too can aspire to make a difference.
In response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01, the U.S. Coast

efforts. The book recounts the early origins of the Coast
Guard--which in itself is a fascinating adventure story--explains
the difference between wartime and peacetime duties, and thoroughly
explains the training involved in becoming a member.
