Remembering September 11, 2001

 

Sept. 11, 2001, changed more than the skyline of New York City – the attacks changed a generation of Americans, our Army and our world. That day’s destruction and devastation did not condemn this country to a future filled with fear. No, this loss, as profound as it was, did not break the soul of this nation. It made us stronger. That day fortified Americans with pride and patriotism and created a spirit of service in the hearts of a new generation. That day fundamentally changed our nation and our Army for the better.

In the video below, Staff Sgt. Micheal Hall, currently deployed to Afghanistan, discusses how the events on September 11, 2001 has affected him.
