From Marshall in Nashville

I was working in the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. I had watched the terrorist attacks on TV. I went to the drink machine near the center of the Pentagon. I wanted to take a moment to myself and prepare for a long day at work. That is when the plane hit the Pentagon. That night we begin planning the war in Afghanistan.

How has your life changed in the 10 years since the 9/11 attacks?

I will never forget those who died that day and those who serve in the Global War on Terrorism. I will never forget those that do not support America. I remain grateful that I did not die that day.
