Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in Basic Training on 9-11. We were at a repelling obstacle course when we heard rumors about "bombs" or "explosions" in NYC. We didn't know what to think. When we got back to the Company, our Commander, told us what happened. It was unbelieveable. My fellow soldiers and I were thinking that they were making it up. We all thought that by them tell us this, that we'd be prepared to handle war, thus making us motivated to complete BCT. However, when they brought us into the conference room and showed us the video, we knew that there was something terribly wrong. But we all remained strong. We knew that we ARE soldiers and that our dedication to this country will overcome anything. I knew it right then, that I had a call. I knew what I had to do. In July of 2002, my unit deployed to Afghanistan and we did great things. We brought these terrorists to justice. On September 11th 2002, I remembered everything that happened a year ago, when America had to call 911. I called my mother and told her I was okay. In September of 2003, my unit deployed to Iraq and we did great things. We brought these terrorists to justice. On September 11th 2003, I remembered everything that happened two years ago, when America had to call 911. I called my mother and told her I was okay. Today, I remember everthing that happened three years ago, when America had to call 911. I called my mother and told her I was okay. And I know that I will do it all over again whenever,wherever my country calls to punish these cowards. Today we remember and honor all those who lost and gave thier lives on 9-11. They are an inspiration to us all.
