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.

"I wanted to join the Army, not just because that's what I wanted to do, but because that's what I felt that I needed to do," Pvt. David L. West II said. "It's what my dad did, and that's what I wanted to do, the same job he did - in the same place that he went to basic training in 1985. I can't ask for more than that."- From the Ranger Creed:
Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.
