Personal Reflection

What were you doing on 9/11? (Or, What was your interviewee doing on 9/11?)

I was in U.S. Army flight school and was scheduled to take my final check ride before graduation.

How did 9/11 affect you personally and or professionally?

I’m from North Jersey and lost family members who were firefighters in the towers. I was in Army flight school and once I graduated was deployed to Afghanistan during Operation Anaconda. I was deployed 4 times in support of the Global War on Terror which was the response to 9/11.

What do you want future generations of professionals, particularly those going into your field, to know about 9/11?

9/11 changed the United States forever.

On 9/11, what sector were you (OR your interviewee) in?
