Where were you 13 years ago today? I was in Darwin, Australia, - TopicsExpress



          

Where were you 13 years ago today? I was in Darwin, Australia, just wrapping up a joint training exercise with our Aussie counterparts. I was a sergeant forward deployed with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit. We were on liberty for the first time since we had pulled out of port in San Diego. We were recalled back to the ships immediately. We were off the coast of Pakistan less than a week later; securing an airbase in Pakistan less than a month later; and we were the first ground troops in Afghanistan on Thanksgiving. A couple of my communications home in the immediate aftermath of the attacks were later archived for historical purposes: 911digitalarchive.org/items/show/36763 911digitalarchive.org/items/show/39323
