NEW FRONTIERS
the attacks occurred. Patricia
ended up safe. I referred to Patricia’s roommate Anna-Marie’
Carter, who was on her way to
work at a 500-lawyer law firm
in midtown next to Grand Central Station when the planes hit
the Towers. Anna-Marie’ left
New York in October 2006 so
she could come back to Adel
and be near her family.
In the wake of the terrorist
attacks, Cook County citizens
joined in a way not seen since
World War II to pray for God’s
intercession and to show their
support of this nation.
American flags, some flying
at half-mast, went up in record
numbers across the community
next to streets, in yards, and by
businesses. Hundreds of residents participated in community-wide prayer services and
donated supplies and funds to
assist the victims of 9-11.
The community gave even
more deeply of its blood and
treasure with many citizens
choosing to serve in the U.S.
Armed Forces and do their part
in the War on Terror.
United States Army Staff
Sgt. Paul E. Martin Sr., a Cook
From Page 4-A
County native, received a Purple Heart as a survivor of the
Fort Hood shooting on Nov. 5,
2009. Thirteen people were
killed and more than 30
wounded when then-Maj. Nidal
Hasan attacked his fellow
troops, in what became the
deadliest mass shooting on a
U.S. military base. Investigators linked the shooting rampage to the same strain of
Islamic terror belief that
sparked 9-11.
The U.S. Navy Seals could
truly say mission accomplished
when the elite force killed 9-11
mastermind Usama Bin Laden
in Pakistan. The wars continued
in Iraq and Afghanistan (the
longest military conflict ever
for the U.S.), but America’s
leaders planned to bring the
military operations to a close.
The terrorist group ISIS has
now developed from the turbulent Middle East as an offspring
of Al-Qaeda. Homegrown terrorists, influenced at the very
least by ISIS, have killed police
officers and unarmed civilians
in sporadic outrages across the
country in recent months.
Now, on the 15th anniversary of 9-11, Mary Ann is no
longer with me. She was so
proud of that white dress that
we ran her photo wearing it
with her obituary. The 9-11
tragedy is so intertwined with
every American’s experience
that I can’t help but think back
about Mary Ann when writing
about those times, among the
best and worst of my 49 years
in this world filled with the
contrast of light and darkness.
