This book is not just for the workers themselves (which is different than most Chicken Soup books), but for all the people who are fascinated with and inspired by their heroism.In a world where there are too few heroes, and where too few actual heroes get the recognition they deserve, Chicken Soup for the Soul Salutes America's Heroes will show us once again that wonderful things are made possible by wonderful people.Key Features These heart-touching stories capture the emotion of a country still looking for heroes on the front line against terrorism, crime, and the accidents of life.
