Finding Heroes: The Search for Columbia's Astronauts

Finding Heroes is the story of the search and recovery effort during the 2003 Columbia disaster, from the point of view of several residents of Sabine County, Texas. Mr. Starr and his family run a third-generation funeral home in the area and were called upon, along with hundreds of other volunteers from the area, to help search for and catalogue debris from the shuttle, and sadly, the bodies of the astronauts. In searching for the heroes in the pineywoods of East Texas, they discovered the heroes within themselves, and in the community of volunteerism.
