 Sept. 11 — A look back

The events of Sept. 11 — from the devastation of terrorist bombings to airport security checks — significantly altered the lives of most Americans. But one thing that didn’t change was special operations’ commitment to respond to such crises. >More

Maj. James Cusic recalls the events of Sept. 11, when he used his pararescue training to help establish a triage area in the Pentagon courtyard and to save lives in the north parking lot triage center. Cusic and others worked tirelessly to treat the injured after a hijacked passenger jet crashed into the building and was part of what has been called the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history. (Photo by Tech. Sgt. Jim Varhegyi)There to save
by Tech. Sgt. Tim Dougherty
Maj. James Cusic III has always lived with the Boy Scouts motto “be prepared” in mind. During his more than 22 years in the Air Force, he has traveled the world and taken part in countless training and real-world missions. He never thought his training would be used to save lives following a terrorist attack on American soil, but on Sept. 11, that’s exactly what happened. >More
