BAGHDAD -- The events of 9/11 touched every American's life in some way, shape or form. Whether that date was remembered for the tragedy or the heroic acts carried out that day, Americans will never forget where they were or what they were feeling during the terrorist attacks.
Four years later, Soldiers assigned to 4th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division came together Sept. 11, to remember those who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and to pay tribute to the service members who have lost their lives fighting the Global War on Terror since then.
"You remember where you were, who you were with, what you were doing," said Col. Edward Cardon, 4th BCT commander. "How can we forget those images? Images of death, images of bravery, images of America. Thousands of people lost their lives during the attack and several more lost their lives trying to save others. It is these lives that we remember today."
Pvt. Shareef Carey, a generator mechanic assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 1st Battalion, 76th Field Artillery, said he was relaxing at his Philadelphia home when he saw the news. His anger and shock manifested itself into something positive. He decided to join the Army, to go out and help people who could not enjoy the freedom he had as an American.
Cardon spoke to the Soldiers, Marines, and civilians assembled for the candlelight service about the changes brought about by the attacks.
