Where were you when you first heard about or saw the 9/11 terrorist attacks?
I was in basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri. Our Drill Sergeants cancelled training that day and they sat us down to have a heart to heart talk. That was different than how they usually spoke to us, so we knew something happened. They took us to an auditorium and turned on the televisions. We were all in shock by what we saw. At that time we didn’t have cell phones or access to any outside sources except a 5 min call home on the weekend.
