The events of September 11, 2001, commonlyknown as “9/11,” dramatically changed the entire world. While the day is recognized in theUnited States as Patriot Day, the official day ofremembrance, the anniversary of the attacks isacknowledged across the globe. Patriot Day is to remember and honor the nearly 3,000 peoplewho died - along with those injured - as a resultof the terrorist strikes in New York City, Washington D.C., and Shanksville, Pa. Americanflags are flown at half-mast to commemoratethose lives lost and a moment of silence is observed at 8:46 a.m. EST, the time the firstplane collided into the North Tower of the WorldTrade Center.

Four planes were hijacked and three managed to hit the terrorist targets ofthe World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington D.C.,making it the greatest act of terrorism ever on United States soil. Beyondthe immediate impact of the death and destruction, the economic effectswere tremendous. National Security permanently changed and our Militaryexperienced a rush of patriotically inspired enlistments.

“Joining the Army had always been in the back of my mind,” related Maj. Benjamin Hartman of Army Human Resources Command, ”but after9/11, I knew it was the right choice for me.”

Here on Fort Knox, Foam 161, a fire truck damaged by the attack on thePentagon, has become a centerpiece at the General George Patton Museum of Leadership (Patton Museum) for one of the museum’s new exhibits about leadership. The exhibit presents the leadership, duty,sacrifice, and honor displayed by the first responders.

“Foam 161 will be displayed in its damaged condition in an exhibit that allows the visitor to enter a ‘Pentagon Office’ and, while trying to escapethe fire and damage, emerge ‘outside’ and see the damaged Foam 161 asit was during the aftermath of the attack,” explains Nathan Jones, curatorof the Patton Museum, on its homepage.

In a December 2012 periodical for the Department of Defense’s CriminalInvestigation Task Force (CITF), Jack Sova wrote a story about how the firetruck was rescued and carefully removed from a CITF parking lot at FortBelvoir, Va., and brought to Fort Knox. It was stored on Fort Knox until afterthe Patton Museum’s renovation was completed and given its place ofhonor at the museum in time for Patriot Day 2013. Foam 161 is one of onlytwo 9/11 fire trucks that can be viewed at a museum. Prior to the 9/11 ceremony welcoming it to its new home, it was loaded onto a trailer andparaded locally in an event that received huge support from neighboringcommunity members in Radcliff and Elizabethtown on September 10, 2013.The three brave firefighters who were on duty and used the fire truck in itsdamaged state at the Pentagon – Alan Wallace, Dennis Young and MarkSkipper – rode proudly in front of their vehicle for the local procession andwere honored at the Patriot Day ceremony.

On the morning of 9/11, Fort Myer, Va., firefighters Wallace, Young andSkipper were assigned to the Pentagon fire station because they had already completed a training class on airfield firefighting which was beingheld there. A new crash truck (Foam 161) which carried 1,500 gallons ofwater and 200 gallons of three percent foam was part of the furnishings atthe fire station that had just opened earlier in 2001. Only an instant beforeit crashed, was the plane visible to the firefighters.

“I ran about 30 yards back to the damaged crash truck, stepping carefully,not to slip on the burning debris covering the ground. I immediatelypushed the two engine start buttons and the engine started to myamazement,” Wallace recalled.

Although unable to move the truck, Wallace and the others present wereable to use the equipment and apparatus to perform heroic rescue efforts to save Pentagon personnel trapped in the building. These efforts can be honored by visiting the Patton Museum Tues-Fri from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturdays and federal holidays from 10 a.m. to5:30 p.m. Admission to the museum is free and open to the public.

Readers have something to look forward to in the appearance ofNew York Times best-selling author Gregg Hurwitz at Barr Memorial Library as he discusses and signs his new thriller, “Don’tLook Back.” The event takes place Tuesday, September 9 at noon.

“Don’t Look Back” is the story of Eve Hardaway, who stumblesacross clues in the disappearance of a woman during a longdreamed-of trip rafting and hiking through the jungles and mountains of Oaxaca in Southern Mexico. Trapped in the woodsalong with her tour group and a man who has a secret to protect,Hardaway struggles to survive the odds if she is to make it home alive.

Hurwitz says, “It's often surprising where inspiration comes from - a fragment of a poem or a line from a play.”

While he prefers reading fiction, Hurwitz says he tends to readnon-fiction when doing research on a certain topic. Although theresearch is helpful, he notes that “reading is no substitute for getting out in the field. That’s why I've done things in the nameof research like sneak onto demolition ranges with Navy SEALs toblow up cars or go undercover into mind control cults. When I was writing ‘Don’t Look Back,’ I spent a lot of time in the junglesof Oaxaca, acclimating to the climate and the wildlife, ridinghorses and going down Class IV whitewater rafting runs. It was a blast.”

Hurwitz is an internationally best-selling authorof 13 novels, most recently including “They’reWatching,” “You’re Next,” “The Survivor,”and “Tell No Lies.” His books, which havebeen translated into 22 languages, havebeen nominated for awards by the International Thriller Writers, CWA’s IanFleming Steel Dagger and the Galaxy National Book Award. His books havebeen featured selections of all four majorliterary book clubs.

Hurwitz’s work also includes contribu-tions to both DC and Marvel Comics,penning stories featuring characterssuch as Batman, The Penguin, Wolverine, and The Punisher. Hurwitzsays he enjoys working in themedium, but that there are challenges to writing characters withlong legacies that are beloved byfans across the world.

“The biggest challenge,” he states, “is walking that tightrope balance between being true to an established character whilealso offering readers something new. I tend to get brought in because of my unique point of view as a writer, so I want to comeup with a story in my own voice while also respecting the richcharacter tradition.”

A limited number of complimentarycopies of Hurwitz’s thrillers will be available at the event for Soldiers attending in uniform. Copies of “Don’tLook Back,” as well as other titles, will alsobe for sale at the event. For further information, contact the Library at (502) 624-1232.

U.S. Army CPT Mike Guardia discusses andsigns his biography “Hal Moore: A SoldierOnce…And Always” on Saturday, September12 at 2 p.m. at Barr Memorial Library. The biography, which chronicles the career of LTGHal Moore and is best known from the filmadaptation of his book “We Were SoldiersOnce…And Young” starring Mel Gibson, was afinalist for the 2013 Army Historical Society Distinguished Writing Award. Copies of “HalMoore: A Soldier Once…And Always” will beavailable for sale at the event.

Picking up a comic book might be considered by some to be a guilty pleasure,but to many, comic books are an art form unto itself. Splashy panels with colorful characters, tightly scripted dialogue and pageturning plots, comic books and graphic novels entertain bothchildren and adults. Often times, people refer to comic booksand graphic novels interchangeably, but there are differ-ences.

While both use illustrations along with text totell a story, the differences between the twoformats are in the areas of length, subjectmatter and format. Comic books are usually serialized and presented in 20-24pages; graphic novels are significantlylonger, tell an entire story and are boundas traditional books. Graphic novels alsotend to be marketed toward an adultaudience, with mature themes andgraphic illustrations.

Comic books are relatively new to the publishingworld, with the format taking flight with the 1938 introduction of Superman in Action Comics #1. The emergence of the superhero transformed comic books into

a phenomenon, introducing audiences to characters such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman, The X-Men, and The Avengers. While

initially dismissed as being of little value, hugely successfulfilm adaptations and critically lauded 1980s graphic novels such Alan Moore’s “Watchmen” and NeilGaiman’s “Sandman” thrust the formats into the mainstream consciousness. Art Spiegelman’s“Maus,” in fact, won a Pulitzer Prize for retelling thestory of the Holocaust in graphic novel format, withthe Jewish people depicted as mice and the Nazis as cats.

Josh Elder, founder of Reading With Pictures whichpromotes the value of comics and graphic novels inthe classroom, states, “When used properly,comics and graphic novels can improve educational outcomes for all students.”

Elder notes that while it might be apparent thatcomics might encourage reluctant readers; headds that they can “also improve the pace of instruction for more advanced students.”

New York Times Best-selling novelist Gregg Hurwitz turned his storytelling talents to the format, writing comic books featuring favoritessuch as Batman and Wolverine.

“The thing that's great about comics is that kidscan grow up in them, so to speak,” Hurwitz states.“The stigma has been largely removed fromgraphic novels; readers can find the highest level of sophistication within the form. I do know that some graphic novels are being

taught in schools alongside the classics -- indeed,many are classics in their own right,” he added.

While comic books frequently filled wire spinning racks in drug andconvenience stores from the 1940s and 1950s, specialty shops catering to casual readers and collectors alike emerged in the 1980sand 1990s, offering a wide variety of new titles alongside prized collectables. A copy of Action Comics #1 sold for more than $2 million in 2011, while a 1962 issue of Amazing Fantasy featuring thedebut of Spiderman brought more than $1 million that same year.Graphic novels are frequently found on the shelves of bookstores andlibraries today.

Readers interested in compilations of classic comic book stories ingraphic novel format, as well as stories written exclusively for thegraphic novel format, should check the shelves of Barr Memorial Library. Those interested can visit the Library or check out the onlinecatalog at www.barrlibrary.org or www.barrlibrary.mobi.

Excess stress can precipitate substance abuse and other destructive behaviors.Frequent moves combined with job changes, deployments and separationsfrom Family are just some of the factors in the Military lifestyle that can causedestructive stress. Recognizing that risk exists in the Fort Knox Community,Army Substance Abuse Program (ASAP) has the mission to support and enhance Military readiness. Beyond its biochemical testing operations, thehighly qualified professional ASAP staff provides: Employee Assistance Programs, Risk Reduction Strategies, Prevention Education, and Rehabilitationand Clinical Services. “Prime for Life” is part of the Prevention Program whichfocuses on learning to make low-risk choices.

Risk Reduction Program Coordinator William Taylor uses data and othersources to help reduce unit high-risk behaviors. Taylor explains that Family, deployments and just making decisions regarding day-to-day operations putsSoldiers at risk.

“Time can be taken for most important decisions we make,” advises Taylor.“Think out the consequences carefully!”

Alcohol and drug abuse is a major factor in putting Soldiers – and the population in general – at risk. For example, Taylor estimates that 50 to 70 percent ofdrownings are alcohol and drug related. He recommendsASAP because “Soldiers enrolled in ASAP counselinghave higher rates of recovery from substance abuse thanCivilians enrolled in programs outside the Army.” Headds, “Soldiers have earned these services. Most Commanders are glad when Soldiers are proactive abouta problem!”

One of Taylor’s responsibilities is to perform Unit Risk Inventories. Anonymous surveys help him to identify risk trends. Command Units benefit by receiving data collected from monthly risk reduction reports which enable them to solicit appropriate resources and services.

As the only Certified Civilian Employee Assistance Professional on Fort Knox, John Emary provides valuable

counseling sessions to Civilian employees, Family members andRetirees. Because all of CadetCommand falls under his responsi-bility, he also helps those in remote locations find help locally ifnecessary. Always availablethrough his cell phone, Emary hasbeen called in to respond to critical events on the installationincluding counseling after a shooting incident at the HumanResource Command. As an experton assessing a situation through aphone conversation, he can recommend the best next step.Emary also provides confidentialcounseling from his office. “Pleasedon't wait until it is too late!” he urges.

Another of Emary’s responsibilities is to give alcohol and drug training to employees and supervisors. He enjoys his role as an educator and specializesin engaging participants in order to make the sessions more meaningful. Numerous EAPC awards are visible in his office and Emary is especially proudof being recognized as EAPC of the year in 2009 for his ASAP. Emary explainsthat feedback from those he has helped is regrettably sparse because, “Mostfolks don't want to look behind after they get clean. However, helping peopleto get clean is very rewarding!”

Suicide Prevention Program Manager, Shirley Johnson, is available for the entire Fort Knox Community. Prevention, Intervention and Postvention comprise the program he manages. Making the Community aware that financial and relationship failures are prime risk factors leading to suicide enable it to be prevented. Johnson teaches Ask Care Escort Suicide Intervention, an applied suicide intervention skills training. Postvention assistsCommanders with regulatory requirements and helps to ensure the safety ofthose around a suicidal individual.

Johnson does an excellent job with this sensitivetopic – his trainings lightened with humor completely engage the audience. “The idea thatwhat I do, hopefully will save somebody's life, iswhat I like best about my job,” relates Johnson. Take advantage of the ASAP services when theyare needed and keep Fort Knox primed for life!

Social wellness means nurturing yourself and your relationships. It meansgiving and receiving social support - ensuring that you have friends andother people, including family, to turn to in times of need or crisis to giveyou a broader focus and positive self-image.

Social support enhances quality of life and provides a buffer against adverse life events. Social support can take different forms:

Emotional (sometimes called non-tangible) support refers to the actionspeople take to make someone else feel cared for.

Instrumental support refers to the physical, such as money and housekeeping.

Informational support means providing information to help someone.

Why is Social Wellness Important?

Healthy relationships are a vital component of health. The health risks frombeing alone or isolated in one's life are comparable to the risks associatedwith cigarette smoking, blood pressure, and obesity.

Research shows that:• People who have a strong social network tend to live longer.• The heart and blood pressure of people with healthy relationships

respond better to stress.• Strong social networks are associated with a healthier endocrine

system and healthier cardiovascular functioning.• Healthy social networks enhance the immune system's ability to

fight off infectious diseases.

How Can I Grow My Social Network?

• Work out. Going to the gym or joining an exercise group allows you to meet new people while exercising.

• Take a walk with your pet. Starting a walking routine after dinner would not only give you another opportunity to be physically active, but it would also create more opportunities for you to meet your neighbors.

• Volunteer. Donate some of your time and hard work to a charity. You’ll feel good about the cause, and you’ll meet others with similar passions.

• Find others who share a hobby, such as hiking, painting, scrapbooking, running, etc.

• Participate in Family and MWR activities and special events• Go listen to a workplace educational forum • Attend a religious service of your faith• Seek out BOSS programs for service and recreational opportunities

There are countless ways to grow your social network. Consider your in-terests and hobbies, and then pursue them. You're bound to find otherswith similar passions.
