September 9, 2008—Dan Holdridge All of us remember where we were on September 11, 2001, when our Nation’s worst terrorist attack occurred. When the Pentagon was attacked on 9/11, 184 heroes— some as little as 10 feet away from Dan—were killed. Dan survived. Yet, as Dan says, “You don’t have to live through a terrorist attack to learn from one.” His message about “Weapons of Mass Appreciation” is not so much about the Pentagon attack, but the lessons learned from that experience. Feeling handpicked by God, Dan’s personal mission honors the 184 and challenges audiences to understand the value of life through gratitude, respect and appreciation of others.
