911DA Story: Story
I was in school, and because I am so patriotic i decided i was going to join the army reserve and go to college. Then i heard that the first WTC got hit by a plane. Just like everyone else i had no idea what to think. As the day went on and terrorism was brought up in the news. I got mad, very mad. September 12th 2001 i visited my local Army recruiter. i graduated highschool and now leave to report to Ft. Leonardwood Missouri on Sepember 17 2002. I am goin to be a combat engineer an also a paratrooper.
At first i joined the army because i was so upset with the eniter situation. As time went on and i though more and more about my situation i realized i didn't join the army because i was mad. I joined to show the civilians of america that their are people out their that arn't going to run from terrorism and bad situations. Just like all those firefighters that America lost that faitful day.
