I had just left Officer Basic Course a few days earlier and had spent time w my family in Tennessee before returning to Texas to collect my family before we moved to the 1st Infantry Division in Germany.
Flew to Germany with wife and infant son on Sept 15, 2001. Scared for our safety but mainly for theirs. DFW is a strange place when empty and everyone was looking at each other as if trying to figure out which mofo on the plane was going to hijack it and whom I would have to neutralize.
I knew a few guys that lost their lives in Iraq. Consider myself lucky to have just had a few close calls.
I won't forget.
