"If you find yourself in the middle of an insurrection, take notes!...While I was writing 'American Shield,' I was still processing what happened on January 6th."
Jan 6th will forever be burned in my brain, a day of terror, after a year of watching people disappear from Covid, crying in front of the television tears of joy when Biden was elected, thinking it's over. I can't imagine how this was for him and the others at the Capital that day. Thank you Aquilino for your bravery!! Only four more days. I'm proud of everyone for creating three hour voting lines all over the nation. We've got this!!
This book sounds amazing. What a brave person to live and write this book. And a big shout out to Susan Shapiro for her work in helping bring it to life. How wonderful that people get to read this story.
You had the perfect co-author in Sue. She is sensitive to trauma and knows how to make a great book. The two of you did a wonderful job in writing this beautiful and inspiring book about one of the darkest days in the nation’s history. Thank you for your service and for writing this book!
Thanks for this, Aquilino Gonell and Sari. I didn't know about this particular case and will be ordering the book. I just finished reading Solito, Javier Zamora's memoir about being a nine-year old who traveled mostly unaccompanied from El Salvador to the United States, also not knowing a word of English. These stories shake me to the core and I want more of these voices.
Wow, so cool to read about this. I wonder what his take is on preparing for possible mayhem after this election. Grateful to him for his service!
Me, too, on both fronts.

Thank you for your bravery and service Aquilino. I can't wait to read it. I'm going to ask my local library to buy a copy also.

At least the government will deploy the army this time.
