Dan Holdridge 9/11 Survivor Signs His Book Pentagon Prayer
Dan will be here from 2pm to 4 pm on Sunday, October 10 AND Monday, October 11, to sign his book. If you can't make it before, during or after Sunday's parade, we hope you can stop by to welcome Dan on Monday.
In April 2001, Mr. Dan Holdridge was one of the youngest Program Directors at General Dynamics Corporation in Needham, Massachusetts. Dan oversaw computer engineering operations for General Dynamics and was sent to the United States Pentagon to support the construction of the newly renovated section of the Pentagon.
On September 11th, 2001, Dans life almost ended when he was injured in the terrorist attack on the Pentagon. Recovered physically, Dan dedicates his time speaking to people across the country about his experience that day, what helped him heal and how he became an even stronger person than ever before.
Today, Dan serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Eagle Industries Incorporated (www.EagleElectric.com) where he oversees the entire operation of the electrical engineering and manufacturing corporation. This includes finance, human resources, project management, business development, customer communications, and continuing quality improvement programs.
Dan graduated from the University of Connecticut in 1995, and earned the Masters Degree of Executive Master of Science in Engineering Management from the University of New Haven. Dan served as a Trustee of the National 4-H Leadership Trust from April 2002 to 2004 and currently serves as Board Member and Vice Chairman of the New London County 4-H Foundation.
Dan believes the way to end terrorism in our world is to understand differences between cultures and to respect them, eliminate feelings of entitlement, and honor the heroes that serve.
His book, Pentagon Prayer, is due for release on September 11, 2010. Publishing of that book has been delayed slightly, as Michael Hauge, screenwriter for the Oscar winning movie "A Beautiful Mind" (starring Russell Crowe), has been engaged to develop the book with Dan for a power message to all readers.
