    Fort McCoy observes Patriot Day; remembers 20th anniversary of 9/11 in special ceremony

    Fort McCoy Senior Commander, Maj. Gen. Darrell Guthrie, 88th Readiness Division commanding general, is shown providing some of his remarks Sept. 10, 2021, during the installation observance of Patriot Day 2021 and the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America on Sept. 11, 2001. Fort McCoy Garrison Commander Col. Michael Poss also provided special comments during the observance as well. On Sept. 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon, and a fourth plane crashed in a field in Shanksville, Penn. Almost 3,000 people were killed during the 9-11 terrorist attacks, which triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defined the presidency of George W. Bush.
