Although he spoke no English, he dedicated himself to his adopted land, striving for the American dream. Determined to be a success story, he joined the army to pay for college. He saw action in Iraq and returned home with PTSD. Believing in the promise of our government, he focused on healing himself and supporting his family. His hard work paid off when he landed a coveted position with the United States Capitol Police and rose to the rank of sergeant. January 6, 2021, changed everything. When insurrectionists stormed the Capitol, Gonell bravely faced down the mob attempting to thwart the peaceful transfer of power. The brutal injuries he sustained that day would end his career in law enforcement. But when some of the very people he put his life on the line to protect downplayed or denied the truth of that day, he chose to speak out against the injustice done to him and the country. Chronicling what it means to live a life of conviction, one that adheres to the best ideas of our democracy, American Shield is a bold testament to the power of truth, justice, and accountability from a highly decorated officer and immigrant who exemplifies the greatest aspirations of a grateful nation"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books 973.933 Gonell Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.933 Gonell Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 923.933 Gonell Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Biography 973.933 Gonell go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.933 Gonell Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 973.933 Gonell Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList
