I was deployed in Kosovo, and was escorting a visiting Admiral. We were standing outside of the KFOR headquarters waiting for him to finish some meeting an get back on the helicopter to go back to the airport when a Soldier from Norway told us. She was getting the info from her cell phone, and asked if we heard about a plane crashing into the WTC. A few minutes later she said another one hit the other tower and that there might be planes heading to the whithouse and capitol.We pulled the Admiral out of teh meeting hopped on the helo, and hauled ass back to the airport where the pilots had the plane runnin. They got on and took off in record time. We went back to our base camp and got briefed on what had happend, then we had to patrol outside ofthe base camp becasue there were people shooting at the base camp from outside the wire.fast forward a few months and I was sweatin my ass off in Afghanistan.
