Culinary Specialist First Class Petty Officer Matthew Yacobellis served as the Master of Ceremonies during Norfolk Naval Shipyard's annual Patriot Day Fall-In for Colors Sept. 10 and shared his story with the audience, living with his family in New York City at the time of attack.
He stated, “Certain events in history have a long lasting, far reaching effect on a society. Every generation has some historical events they live through where it affects them in a profound way. For my grandparents it was the World Wars and Korea, for my parents it was Vietnam and the Cold War. For my generation, the one that was born in the early 80s and lived through the transition of always being outside getting dirty to living on cell phones, it was the events of September 11, 2001.”
