Naval Mobile Construction Battalion Remembers 9/11
Story  by  Mass  Communication  Specialist  1st  Class  Jonathan  Carmichael
Seabees  assigned  to  Naval  Mobile  Construction  Battalion  (NMCB)  11  stood  in  formation  alongside  members  of  all  services  on  Camp  Lemonnier,  Djibouti  in  remembrance  of  the  9/11  terrorist  attacks;Íž  12  years  to  the  day. The  remembrance  began  with  morning  colors  at  which  time  the  $PHULFDQ Ă€DJ ZDV Ă€RZQ DW KDOI mast  as  a  symbol  of  mourning.  Following  an  invocation  by  Cmdr.  John  J.  Gayton,  command  chaplain  of  Camp  Lemonnier,  U.S.  Marine  Corps  Master  Gun nery  Sgt.  Adam  Newsum  took  the  podium  and  articulated  his  personal  experience  only  a  few  blocks  from  the  World  Trade  Center  towers,  where  he  was  working  as  a  recruiter  the  morn ing  of  the  attacks. “The  scene  was  apocalyptic,â€? Â
said  the  New  York  native.  “Walk ing  around,  I  noticed  one  of  the  building  remains.  Someone  had  scrawled  in  them,  the  words  Sem per  Fidelis.â€?  Seeing  the  Marine  Corps  motto,  which  is  Latin  for  “Always  Faith ful,â€?  Newsum  became  immedi DWHO\ KRSHIXO DQG FRQÂżGHQW WKDW “we  can  get  past  this.â€? Chief  (select)  Builder  Gabriel  C.  Martinez  read  a  quote  from  former  President  George  W.  Bush  who  said,  “These  acts,  shattered  steel,  but  they  cannot  dent  the  steel  of  American  resolve.â€? Martinez  was  one  of  four  Navy  FKLHI SHWW\ RIÂżFHU VHOHFWHHV to  take  a  turn  at  the  podium.  Other  speakers  included  Chief  (select)  Culinary  Specialist  Corey  D.  Montgomery,  Chief  (select)  Quartermaster  Amanda  L.  Jenkins,  and  Chief  (select) Â
Explosive  Ordnance  Technician  Thomas  K.  Langdon. The  event  concluded  with  a  ben ediction  by  Lt.  Cmdr.  Washington  Johnson  II,  deputy  chaplain  of  Camp  Lemonnier. Further  remembrance  was  acknowledged  by  minute  long  observances  of  the  four  attacks  that  took  place  at  the  minute  each  happened. Throughout  the  remainder  of  the  day,  Seabees  could  be  heard  tell ing  one  another  where  they  were  when  they  became  aware  of  the  attacks.  Many  were  school  aged  children  at  the  time. “I  was  in  middle  school  in  Ro chester,  N.Y.,�  said  Construction  Electrician  2nd  Class  Kevin  R.  Foss.  “I  walked  into  the  class room  and  the  teacher  had  the  T.V.  on  when  I  saw  the  second  plane  hit.�
The  fourth  plane  hit  close  to  home  for  Lt.  j.g.  Robert  E.  Sim mons.  “It  was  hard  to  believe.  It  was  like  it  was  happening  in  my  own  backyard,â€?  said  Simmons  of  the  plane  that  crashed  about  20  miles  from  his  Somerset  County,  Pa.  home. The  Naval  Construction  Force  is  a  vital  component  of  the  U.S.  Maritime  Strategy.  They  provide  deployable  battalions  capable  of  providing  contingency  construc tion,  disaster  preparation  and  recovery  support,  humanitarian  assistance,  and  combat  operations  support. 10&% ÂśV 'HWDLO +RUQ RI Africa  is  a  Combined  Joint  Task  )RUFH +2$ XQLW ZKRVH PLVVLRQ includes  stabilizing  and  strength ening  security  in  East  Africa  WKURXJK PLOLWDU\ WR PLOLWDU\ HQ gagements  with  partner  nations.
