I have been in the Navy as active duty and a reservist, I have lost a freind off the USS Cole (LTJG Andrew Triplett), I have met and work with NYFD and NYPD. I received my NEC 9545 (Naval Law Enforcement/ Force Protection) Training from NYPD officers and even heard the Dying words of one of thier own who was trapped under the rubble of the towers. Officer Moria Smith. I was married on September 8th and on my honeymoon in the Poconnos when that tragic day happened. I can Never forget watching the events unfold on tv and just sitting there and feeling numb. We finally decieded to go out and do something. Everywhere you went it was quite and eriee. Nothing moving in the air or on ground. Every store you went into, there were groups of people huddled around small Tv's or radios listening to the news reports. I Have been deployed twice since then and Volunteered for one of them. I will never forget that day nor should anyone!! Thanks for reading.
