Richland,
WA, USA -- Captain Bill Peterson and Captain Mike Wallace's A
Miracle at Attu: The Rescue of CG-1600 is an inspiring and
emotional story of human error, courage, bravery, and survival.
"His
is a story of grace under pressure, and commitment to his fellow
service members. He set an example to our cadets of how our personnel
have upheld the service's core values of honor, respect and devotion
to duty." - Rear Adm. James Rendon, Coast Guard Academy
superintendent.
The
remote Western Aleutian Islands pose a unique and unforgiving
operating environment. It takes a special mindset to go into harm's
way and fly into the storm so others may live. You will come to know

survivors, and the crews of the Coast Guard Cutter Mellon, LORAN
Station Attu, Rescue-1602, and Rescue-1425.
