5 years later 9/11

[nwapache]

Just wanted to say thanks to all those that serve our country.
I had 13 years in, and was on duty(USNR) on that day. Our base went on lockdown for 2 days afterward. Several months later I shipped out to Afghanistan as part of Enduring Freedom, where I ended my career in the military. I would do it all over again to protect my country.
If you serve, or did...post up and tell us about it.
Chief Master at Arms (sw)(eod) retired Navy Reserve

Salute to all our military men and women for keeping us safe. Bring them home safe and well.

I was in my final week of Basic when the attacks happened. Ironic, yet true story:

We were in a simulated field excercise, in which we have short classes, then implement what we learned. Just happens my flight was going through anti-terrorism training, and I swear we were told....."Hi-jacking aircraft is a means of intimidation and a thing of the past, with no real intent of bringing harm to the passengers. They're just negotiating tools."

About 5 minutes later a butter bar walks in and tells us a plane just crashed into the WTC......we thought it was a drill. I wish we were right

God Bless the USA

I was stationed at Quantico in Northern Va as an MP and that was interesting.
