Today we remember that Tuesday morning in September…
In the stillness of an ordinary Tuesday morning, the world changed. Smoke rose, hearts broke, and a generation was called to arms.
We remember not just the attacks of September 11 attacks, but the long shadow they cast — a shadow our brothers walked into without hesitation. They carried the weight of that day on their shoulders, and many never came home.
Men like Rick Barraza, with his infectious laugh and love for a cold Corona–reminded us to savor life.
Men like Kristoffer Domeij, whose unmatched mastery of CAS embodied the “TYRANT” spirit — relentless, precise, and fiercely protective of his brothers.
Their stories are woven into ours — every mission, every laugh, every quiet moment of remembrance. Wherever you are, and however 9/11 touched your life, take a moment today to raise a glass.
Speak their names.
Carry their memory forward.
