Remembering 9/11

"I received a phone call on the night of 9/11 from the Air Force who put me on orders to report to Andrews Air Force Base, Md. I was to provide chaplain assistant support to the chaplains who responded to the Pentagon attack. I worked at the family assistance center in Crystal City, Md., where families came to find out about their missing loved ones. I was an escort. The Sept. 11 attacks continue to impact my life today." - Master Sgt. Stephen Prasser, 512th Airlift Wing chaplain assistant "I was at Wilford Hall Medical Center at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. Within 24 hours, I was deployed to McGuire AFB, N.J., and then on to Dover AFB Mortuary Affairs. It changed my worldview, solidified my commitment to the Air Force and drew me closer to God and family." - Capt. Kimberly Willis, 512th Airlift Wing chaplain "I was a traditional reservist in maintenance at the time. Because of 9/11, I was activated due to the increase in ops tempo. I remember how everyone came together and there was such a sense of unity countrywide." - Tech. Sgt. Donavan Brown, 512th Airlift Wing chaplain assistant

Remembering 9/11

"I was in my AP English class. We were in lockdown. We couldn’t leave the school for any reason. I didn’t know anyone who was directly in harm’s way but it was a shock to everyone. I was numb and scared. No one could fathom the hatred that people must have had to commit the crimes. I just remember watching the news coverage and tears running down my face." - Senior Airman Melanie Brownlee, 46th Aerial Port Squadron

Remembering 9/11

"I was in geography class at University of New Orleans and someone ran in the classroom and shouted, 'Everyone leave the building! Something has happened! The school is on alert!' My professor was briefed about the incident and everyone was dismissed. At the campus bookstore, all of the televisions were tuned in to the footage of the towers. Amidst the mass hysteria on campus, all I wanted to do was reach my family back home in Newport News, Va., to know that they were ok." - Staff Sgt. Gwendolyn Blakely, 512th Airlift Wing Equal Opportunity "I was walking into homeroom and everyone was watching the events unfold on television. I thought it was a movie. When I asked, 'What movie is this?', my teacher said, 'This is not a movie. America is under attack.' I sat down in my seat, saddened and in disbelief." - Staff Sgt. Shacara Detrick-Johnson, 512th Airlift Wing Equal Opportunity

Remembering 9/11

"I was driving around taking care of errands when I got the call from my daughter's school that I needed to go pick her up. I walked into the front office and the principal, who is a friend of mine, said we needed to pray and pulled me into his office. I still had no clue what was going on. I bowed my head while he prayed for the families and the people who were victims of the terrorist activity and when he was done, I asked, 'What is going on?' That's when he turned on the TV. [...] The tragedy caused me to love my family, freedoms and country even more, and motivated me to continue my commitment in the Reserve and downline deployment." - Senior Master Sgt.
