Goodday,
I am a Department of Defense Police Officer on the Norfolk Naval Base, Virginia. I was in the training class for force protection against terrorism. Then one of the office personal rushed in and yelled that a plane just hit the first tower. Then I watched the second plane hit. I went numb in the face, but then a fire was growing inside, just pure hate came over me(I knew what was really going on), then sadness hit me hard for the people that was in pain. I then rushed home to get ready for the long watch.
May they rest in peace,
A.W.Perkins, Cpl. NBPD
