- Today we honor the memory of the more than 3,000 individuals who died in New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001, and the 6,000 Service Members who have given their lives since then.

It is inevitable...each year as we mark another September 11th, we will all remember exactly where we were on that morning when everything changed in the blink of an eye. On 9/11, I was working in the National Military Command Center on the Joint Staff in the Pentagon. I was impressed with how everyone, both civilian and military, responded during the time of crisis.
Since that day we have been a Nation at war. In the last 11 years, 1.3 million Soldiers and Civilians – including more than 11,000 USACE Civilians – have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. We owe a great debt of gratitude to each member of our outstanding All-Volunteer Army serving around the world, and their families.
In those first dark days after September 11th, President George W. Bush said, “We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.” And we did not . . . the destruction and profound loss of that day did not break the soul of our Nation. It made America stronger, giving birth to a new sense of pride and patriotism that continues to inspire us today.
I am humbled and touched by the dedication and commitment displayed by each member of our team as we serve our Armed Forces, our Nation and our global community. Thank you for your service.
