00:00.700 --> 00:08.300
Today our fellow citizens our way of life. Our very

00:08.300 --> 00:11.800
freedom came under attack from the series of deliberate

00:11.800 --> 00:16.000
and deadly terrorist attacks. The victims were

00:16.000 --> 00:20.600
in airplanes, were in their offices, secretaries

00:20.600 --> 00:23.900
businessmen, and women, military and federal workers,

00:23.900 --> 00:29.600
mom's and dad's, friends and neighbors. Thousands

00:29.600 --> 00:33.100
of lives were suddenly ended by evil despicable

00:33.100 --> 00:49.300
acts of terror. When ever we do our patrols of the ferry, It is first,

00:49.300 --> 00:51.600
thought coming upon the city is it's a beautiful

00:51.600 --> 00:56.700
view most days. The Freedom Tower sticks out obviously, amongst the whole skyline,

00:56.700 --> 00:59.900
but it does, you know, you're going towards that

00:59.900 --> 01:02.000
direction and you're passing the Statue of Liberty

01:02.000 --> 01:06.500
and it definitely sticks in your mind. Like, you

01:06.500 --> 01:11.800
know, the reason why we're out here. 20 years

01:11.800 --> 01:14.100
ago. My, fourth grade memories still burned in.

01:14.100 --> 01:19.400
There is something that Impactful and historical

01:19.400 --> 01:21.500
will definitely stay in people's minds for a long

01:21.500 --> 01:24.600
time. So being 20 years later and we have members

01:24.600 --> 01:27.100
to join the Coast Guard directly because of 911.

01:27.100 --> 01:31.200
So nowadays, we have numbers that weren't even alive

01:31.200 --> 01:35.000
during 9/11. So to think of the impact it

01:35.000 --> 01:37.900
had back then people joining, you know, hopefully

01:37.900 --> 01:40.900
all the newer members, can they come here to the MSST,

01:40.900 --> 01:44.400
you know, they could kind of get a sense of Pride of continuing on that

01:44.400 --> 01:45.100
legacy of protecting the harbor.
