Staff Sgt. Charles Grant, central receiving and staging point non-commissioned officer in charge with Company A, 15th Brigade Support Battalion, 2nd Advise and Assist Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, U.S. Division–North, and a New York City native.
“On this day, Sept. 11, 2001, precisely ten years ago, I proudly provided medical aid and assistance while assigned to Bronx National Guard unit, 258th Field Artillery. As a proud New Yorker, it is with great privilege and pride to have aided and assisted my society in a time of temporary distress. As I reflect back on this day every year, there isn’t any emotional displeasure. However, the feeling of a unified nation fills my heart.”
