While I was in FL.

When I was in FL I had the opportunity to reenlist. I choose to reenlist because of the significance that location has on the rest of the United States and how it relates to the events that took place on September 11, 2001. The deployment that I was a part of was created after 9-11 to help control and maintain this countries security. Basically, the command is to defend the air space by protecting and defend this country 24/7. It is a part of NORAD which has been a around for over fifty years and which I have had a privilege to serve under for six years of my military career.
So with that being said there is a monument that not many people will see that has remnants of the world trade center, the pentagon and Somerset County, PA. where we lost so many innocent but brave people that day.

The pictures were taken on the day that I reenlisted for my second to last time. I am standing by a portion of a metal beam from the twin towers, no one that works for that command at that location will ever forget that day. They can’t because they walk past this monument every single day.
The pictures are not the best, it was a crummy camera, but it was the only thing we had that was authorized behind the fence. Enjoy!!!! And never take this life nor this country or the freedom that we all so cherish for granted. Always believe in this country and believe that we are being guided by the divine hand of our Father in Heaven.
