Scalise takes us through each miracle, and each person who experienced it. He brings us the story of Rep. Brad Wenstrup, an Army Reserve officer and surgeon whose combat experience in Iraq uniquely prepared him for the attack that morning; of the members of his security detail, who acted with nearly cinematic courage; of the police, paramedics, helicopter pilots, and trauma team who came together to save his life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost important, it tells of the citizens from all over America who came together in ways big and small to help one grateful man, and whose prayers lifted up Scalise during the worst days of his hospitalization. As we follow the gripping, poignant, and ultimately inspiring story, we begin to realize what Scalise learned firsthand in real time: that Americans look out for each other, and that there is far more uniting us than dividing us.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCongressman \u003cb\u003eSteve Scalise\u003c\/b\u003e was elected to Congress in May of 2008 after serving in the Louisiana State Legislature from 1996-2008.
