1. The global war on terrorism is not over. Now that the US has pulled out of Iraq and Afghanistan, complacency could lead us to another 9/11 style attack.
2.  No matter what their opinion is on the war in Iraq, real people are fighting and dying in service to this country. I will not forget their sacrifice, and hope to give even a glimmer of the courage and fortitude of our military personnel.
3. All of these stories (presented in the book) were betrayed by one person on November 5, 2009.  Just like the hijackers in 2001, he was hiding in plain sight. It happens when we let our guard down, even on secured military bases.
