“We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!”
President George W. Bush

All of us remember where we were on 9/11. I had one of the greatest jobs in the world of the Vice Commander of the Tanker Airlift Control Center (TACC). For the non Air Force people, the TACC is the air operations center responsible for the planning scheduling and execution of all airlift and tanker operations, 24/7 365.

We Pause To Remember

9/11 Remember

We pause today to remember the events which occurred on 11 September 2001, and reflect upon how they completely changed our nation, our people and our world. We reverently remember al those whose lives were lost on that day, and all those who have since given the ultimate sacrifice in service to the War on Terror. We are also mindful of the many who still suffer today, through injury or loss, as a result of the days attacks and the many tragic and heroic related events over the last many years. Without a doubt, all of us were affected in some way by the event or the ensuing actions which have occurred since. … Read the rest

Character: Pursuing the Road Less Traveled

Posted by General John Michel

“Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.”
Bruce Lee

Anyone who thinks about September 11, 2001, will likely remember exactly where they were when they heard the news on that fateful fall morning. It is an event forever seared into our collective national and global conscious – a date that marks the end of one era and the start of another.

Within minutes of the attacks on New York City, news stations began reporting events, while numerous federal, state, and local agencies struggled to not only better understand what was happening but try to predict what might happen next.… Read the rest

A 9/11 Tribute from Kabul, Afghanistan

Posted by General John Michel

“September 11 is one of our worst days but it brought out the best in us. It unified us as a country and showed our charitable instincts and reminded us of what we stood for and stand for.”
Lamar Alexander

Today, half a world away from the renowned New York City skyline, several hundred men and women of NATO Air Training Command-Afghanistan assembled at precisely five-thirty p.m. (0900 Eastern time) to commemorate the events of September 11, 2001. The brief ceremony, conducted over 8,000 miles from the location of those fateful events, began with the sounding of Retreat to mark the end of the duty day and pay respect to our nation’s flag.… Read the rest
