The Life and Wrongful Death of Gregg David Wenzel, Clandestine CIA Officer Star 81 by Esther V Levy

In 2001, Gregg David Wenzel, 32, a well-liked, respected Miami attorney with a larger-than-life personality, left his law practice. After a year's training, he was sent on his first assignment to Ethiopia, where he cavorted with camels and used his warmth and wit to unearth hidden information about 9/11. A year later, Gregg died in the line of duty, under mysterious circumstances. For nearly six years, his parents were forced to conceal his identity. What was his new secret career? Gregg Wenzel was a clandestine agent for the CIA For years, he was Star 81, an anonymous sculpted star on the CIA Memorial Wall. Now his name is inscribed in the CIA Book of Honor, and a street and post office in Monroe, New York are named in his honor.
Why did Gregg choose this path? Do people really know anything about the fallen heroes represented by these stars, who lived undercover and sacrificed their lives to protect American freedom? Was Gregg's death really an accident? To answer these questions and more, the Wenzels collected tributes, diaries, letters, articles, and photos, and worked with Esther V. Levy to create a human-interest biography. Their mission: To ensure that future generations would know about their son and what he stood for.
Twenty years have passed since 9/11, and we're in the midst of a global pandemic and widespread unrest. Now, more than ever, we need a reminder that humanity shares a common thread. Gregg Wenzel lived this; he believed in human decency and performing random acts of kindness. This story of a nation's pride and a family's heartache is a touching must-read for those seeking hope andinspiration in today's troubled times.
