“Their plan was to instill fear, but instead they brought us closer together. [We] rallied in unison, we wiped the tears from our eyes and stood tall. Taking up arms, to protect the ones we love [and] we moved forward. The world shook not from the fall of the towers, but from the roar of a nation.” (Photo by: 1st Lt. Jennifer Williams, 2nd AAB, 1st Cav. Div. USD-N)
