Thank you to everyone who purchased a signed copy of American Sirens at this year’s NAEMSE Symposium! We completely sold out, and thanks to your generosity, a portion of the proceeds were donated to Mr. Moon. He is utilizing the funds to purchase an AED machine for his local church.

Your support not only brought this incredible book into the hands of educators but also helped give back to the community.
