Martha Raddatz, ABC News’ chief global affairs correspondent, presents her new book, The Hero Next Door, which sheds light on the often overlooked experiences of military veterans who served following the September 11 terrorist attacks. The book captures the profound sacrifices and quiet courage of ordinary Americans who responded during a critical period in the nation’s history. Raddatz’s work brings forward personal stories that highlight the resilience and bravery demonstrated by these veterans.
Through these narratives, Raddatz seeks to honor the legacy of those who served and to deepen the public’s understanding of the human impact of the post-9/11 era. The project emphasizes the importance of remembering these heroes by sharing moving accounts from across the country, offering a fresh perspective on the enduring effects of the attacks on individuals and communities alike.
