Flight 93 Widow Deena Burnett Announces the Release of the Commemorative Edition DVD 'Portrait of Courage: The Untold Story of Flight 93'

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- 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). For speaking opportunities, please contact the authors.
