Service recalls 9/11 trauma, resolve, resilience that followed
By Franklin Fisher

CAMP RED CLOUD, SOUTH KOREA – The American people have demonstrated resilience and resolve in the years since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a speaker at Camp Red Cloud said during a chapel service in remembrance of the traumatic events and their aftermath.
Titled “A Call to Remember!” the service began Sept. 11 at 11:30 on a sunny Tuesday and ended around noon before an audience of about 40.
In his remarks, the speaker, Lt. Col. Steven G. Finley, commander, U.S. Army Garrison Casey, first evoked the specter of those events in 2001 that have become seared in the national consciousness and are often compared to Japan’s attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941.
“Eleven years ago, America confronted one of the darkest nights,” Finley said of the events that unfolded that morning in 2001, which saw not only the attacks on the World Trade Center in Manhattan, but also on the Pentagon, and that included the crash of United Airlines Flight 77 near Shanksville, Pa.
“Mighty towers crumbled,” he said. “Black smoke billowed up from the Pentagon. Airplane wreckage smoldered on the Pennsylvania field.
“Friends and neighbors, sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters – they were taken from us with heartbreaking swiftness and cruelty.
“On September 12, the day after, the nation awoke to a world in which evil was closer at hand, and uncertainty clouded our future,” Finley said.
“These past 11 years have shown that America does not give in to fear,” said Finley. “The rescue workers who rushed to the scene, the firefighters who charged up the stairs, the passengers who stormed the cockpit – these patriots defined the very nature of courage…
“These past eleven years have shown America’s resolve to defend its citizens and the American way of life…” he said.
“Proof of our healing has been a story of total resilience. The Pentagon is repaired, and filled with patriots working in common purpose daily. Shanksville is the scene of friendships forged between residents of that town, and the families who lost loved ones there.
“New York remains a vibrant capital of the arts and industry, fashion and commerce.
“The trade center – where it once stood the sun now glistens off a new tower that reaches toward the sky.
“Our people still work in skyscrapers, our stadiums are filled with fans and our parks full of children playing.”
The audience also heard personal recollections from two other members of the Warrior Country community, Mark Hagelin, management analyst with the U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud’s Plans, Analysis, and Integration Office, and Chaplain (Maj.) Andrew Lawrence, the 2nd Infantry Division’s deputy division chaplain.
Hagelin said his brother, an attorney who “worked around the corner” from the World Trade Center, was out on a case and miles away when the attacks occurred.
“Others weren’t quite so lucky,” he said, noting that among high school friends of his sister-in-law was a firefighter who died “fighting to save others” when the second tower of the World Trade Center collapsed.
“I refuse to hate,” said Hagelin. “Hate brings pain and intolerance.”
But, he said, “I will not forget,” and likened the Sept. 11 attacks to Pearl Harbor.
“The horrific vision and soundtrack of 9/11 are etched into my soul,” said Hagelin. “I will never forget.”
Lawrence, then a parish priest in Iowa, accompanied a group of Catholic parishioners on a pilgrimage to Rome, arriving there Sept. 11. They ended the day stunned by news of the attacks. They awoke next morning, Sept. 12, to find under their hotel room doors a letter signed by the mayor of Rome expressing condolences and goodwill to the city’s American visitors.
Later that day, during a tour of St. Peter’s Basilica, an American woman on vacation from her job at the Pentagon approached Lawrence, asked if he was an American, and in the course of conversation said she’d been unable to reach her co-workers after news of the attacks. She feared some of them may have been killed, she said, and asked Lawrence to pray with her, which he did.
Toward the end of Tuesday’s service, during a ceremonial moment of silence, a firefighter from the Camp Red Cloud fire department, clad in his dark blue work uniform, his face expressionless, struck a brass memorial bell five times, paused, and struck another five times, at intervals, until the bell had sounded 20 times.
Through most of the 1980s, in addition to a 55mph National speed limit, we had a restriction on speedometers to not display speeds above 85. The one shown is from a Mercedes 560SL from the mid 80s. The one in my 1974 450SL reads to 160.
not only those that are represented here, but also the Veterans that live among us. Many of them never say a word about the things they have seen and done. They ask for no special recognition. Whether in time of war or peace, they served with pride, honor, courage and commitment.
Some gave all, all gave some. We shall remember.

Today, the 22 February 2014, the people remembered the earthquake which took the lives of 185 people and devastated the city of Christchurch. Flowers were placed in the rivers and waterways.
I went to Fort San Pedro yesterday. One of the historical places here in Cebu for the first time. I remember Intramuros in Manila.
Fuerza de San Pedro is a military defence structure, built by Spanish and indigenous Cebuano labourers under the command of Spanish conquistador, Miguel López de Legazpi and the Spanish Government in Cebu. It is located in the area now called Plaza Indepedencia, in the Pier Area of Cebu City, Philippines.
The smallest, oldest triangular bastion fort in the country was built in 1738 to repel Muslim raiders.
Forgive me, I just love History :) <3
Recordar una y otra vez, recordando tu versión, tu visión...
Recordando, recuerdo recuerdos del pasado, recordar el futuro es mas difícil aunque no imposible...y entonces recordé que una vez recordé que recordaba que tuve un déjà vu, creo recordar, si no recuerdo mal, aunque ahora que lo recuerdo bien, creo que fue un flashforward
With the 70th D-Day commemorations upon us, peoples thoughts turn again to those who fell on the beaches of Normandy, on that world changing day. But with such events in the media, my thoughts return to the place i live, Catterick. A place that has seen too many leave never to return. And those that do changed forever, both mentally and physically by conflict.
So this is my tribute for all servicemen both past and present, you serve your country will pride and honour, your deeds and sacrifices will be remembered.
So often I come across folk who have forgotten this simple truth: "You are who you are. For all of your faults, your triumphs, and your disasters. You are more than a pigeon-hole or a demographic. You are You; & that by it's very definition, makes YOU Awesome!!
If you have ever been through Sparwood, BC than you have likely seen the world's largest truck, as seen in the background of this picture. I wonder what it would be like to drive this beast around? Those smiling children are my pride and joy. Have a great weekend everyone.
Peter
