Chuck Rosenberg speaks to Scott about 9/11
Maj. Gen. Thomas Sharpy, Air Mobility Command deputy commander and former aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, speaks about his experience in the White House after the 9/11 attacks, Sept. 11, 2017, at Scott Air Force Base, Ill. “I saw Gen. Shinseki and Gen. Myers come walking in with briefcases strapped to their wrists in service dress, and when they walked into that conference room, everyone, including the president of the United States, stood up,” Sharpy said. “I knew then that we were a nation at war.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Tara Stetler)
