'Fighting Back' Author Deena Burnett Attending VSDA
Flight 93 Widow Deena Burnett Announces the Release of the
Commemorative Edition DVD 'Portrait of Courage: The Untold
Story of Flight 93'
-- Deena Burnett, widow of
Flight 93 hero Tom Burnett, announced today that she will
attend this year's VSDA, that will be held this week in Las
Vegas, to announce the release of the Commemorative Edition
DVD of "Portrait of Courage: The Untold Story of Flight 93."
The film is partially based on her newly released book
"Fighting Back: Living Life Beyond Ourselves" and features
interviews with Deena. The commemorative 2-disc edition DVD
will release on September 5, 2006.
Deena will make the announcement and be available for
interviews at a press conference. It will be held in the
VSDA celebrity guest autograph station on the exhibit show
floor at the Venetian Resort Ballroom at 2:30 PM on Tuesday
July 11, 2006. On Wednesday July 12th Deena will greet VSDA
attendees and give out signed copies of her new book and
screeners of the film from 10:30 to Noon in the 3rd-floor
suite (03-227) of the film's distributor Grizzly Adams(R)
Family Entertainment.
Her new book, "Fighting Back: Living Life Beyond Ourselves,"
was co-authored with Anthony Giombetti and published by
Advantage Inspirational. In "Fighting Back," Deena tells the
story of how she fought back to find purpose and joy in her
life again, after her husband was killed on that fateful
day. Her story demonstrates how each of us can move forward
through the hardships of life and can have a positive impact
on others through the belief that, at some point in our
lives, we are all called on to be heroes.
Deena uses the actions of the passengers of Flight 93 and
her own life as examples to redefine our concept of heroism
and to demonstrate the power of everyday heroes who do the
right thing at the right time, no matter how big or small.
Deena's story compels us to look at our own lives and to
realize we each have a choice. When life proves to be
daunting, we can give up or we can fight back. If we choose
the right way and react positively to the circumstances in
which we find ourselves, we can all be transformed into
everyday heroes, thereby changing the world through our
everyday actions.
A story of love, of suffering, of sacrifice, and of rebirth,
"Fighting Back" will inspire you to think about what's good
in this world and most of all, what's worth fighting for.
"Fighting Back" will encourage you. It will make you laugh.
It will cause you to cry. Fighting Back will touch your
heart.
The book is available in paperback wherever books are sold
in-store and online (such as Amazon.com).
