One Word - "Essential"

What more is there to say. I run a senior's program at our local community center. We have been looking for something like this for months. BZ Captain Couch!

We live outside of Boston and have two college-age kids. They both now have a book and we do too. After hearing Dick Couch talk about this book it finely dawned on me how vulnerable we are. I don't think that it is an "if" but a "when" regarding a terrorist attack in the U.S, but I want my family protected.
Must read - for you and your family

I served in the Gulf War in 1991, and I've watched this conflict with great interest. Couch knows what he is talking about. We are in danger. If you want to know how to cope with it you need to read this book.
Awesome! Need to know info!

Finally, a survival guide I can use. I live in New York. I have spent hours on the internet trying to find basic information that would be useful to me and my family to try to begin to prepare for a terrorist incident. Frustrating! I heard Couch being interviewed last week and decided to try his book. It answered dozens of my questions and every member of my family will read it. Thanks!
