On September 11, 2001, I was Chief of Security Operations Branch (SOB), Office of the Provost Marshal, United States Army Europe; I was in charge of security (lucky me) for all of the USAREUR. I was at work, in my plans vault, watching CNN as usual, when the first plane struck. I thought WTF? When the second plane struck, I walked downstairs to my boss's office, and told him to turn on the TV. I told him this was no accident.
Today, I still well up when I think about 911, and still wonder why? Why?
Tomorrow, me and my HS students/Cadets will participate in the 911 stair climb in honor of the 343 firefighters who died, as 412 emergency responders rushed in, as everyone else rushed out. There were 2071 steps to top of the World Trade Center. I will do at least that many tomorrow.
What will you be doing slackers?

I was planning on being in the Pentagon SCPO (Join to see) but I was at home reading the Bible and praying.

Of course, why not? NOTHING showed up when I searched for similar topics. BTW, I was at DEA HQ, right across the I-395 from the Pentagon. Needless to say, the next two weeks were very, very memorable.
