Personal Reflection
What were you doing on 9/11? (Or, What was your interviewee doing on 9/11?)
I was stationed in Schweinfurt, Germany. We were conducting training and toward the end of the day, I was in my barracks room and saw the news on TV.
How did 9/11 affect you personally and or professionally?
It was significant in that it changed our lives overseas. We were locked down and security became a much larger issue. Additionally, the global war on terrorism started and I was deployed several times in support of it.
What do you want future generations of professionals, particularly those going into your field, to know about 9/11?
It can happen at any time and everyone must stay vigilant and never forget. Do not let politics soften our stance on security in our nation.
On 9/11, what sector were you (OR your interviewee) in?
Airlines, Not a pilot
On 9/11 what was your (OR your interviewee’s) occupation? (optional)
