    Spc. Armando Chadilliquen of the New York National Guard seen near the Statue of Liberty on Aug. 27 during a break from his duties with Joint Task Force Empire Shield, which has been continuously providing military support to civilian authorities since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Originally from Peru, Chadilliquen came to the United States when he was 25. Chadilliquen still remembers his first formation immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks. "Our captain asked us, if there was a chance that [we were] going to war, if there were any volunteers, and we all raised our hands."
