The unit held a somber formation early on Sunday morning at Camp Murray, Tacoma WA. Lt Col Lensch delivered the invocation, and three of the units officers - Lt Col Linda Schmidt, Cpt Erik Stohl and 1Lt Lisa Weaver sang the Star Spangled Banner and Amazing Grace.
Members of the Washington Air National Guard have been involved in the Global War on Terrorism since that fateful day, and are still deployed today.
I Stare in Total Disbelief
I stare in total
disbelief.
Heart torn with instant grief.
Plumes of black smoke fill the air,
Marking a building no longer there.
I close my eyes, I want to pray,
Buy my mind doesnt know what to say.
Much like Pearl harbor, so many years ago,
so many gone with one fatal blow.
There are no words to explain,
There are no words to ease the pain.
To those who gave their lives,
Mothers, Fathers, Husbands and Wives,
To all whos lives today did cease,
May your soul find instant peace.
We will honor you and the life you gave,
as a Patriot of The Land of the Free and
the Home of the Brave.
