Today marks the 24th anniversary of the terror attacks that took place in New York City, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. by extremists. As most people know, on that day several planes were hijacked by terrorists and were purposely crashed into targeted areas across the country. The most extensive destruction took place at the World Trade Center’s “Twin Towers” and at the Pentagon building in Washington, D.C.
In honor of those serving to keep the United States free from further attacks, we mention and celebrate Kissimmee’s Kathleen Santos, assigned to the 133rd Quartermaster Company, who has received a promotion to the rank of specialist in the New York Army National Guard, Merit Pages News has reported.
Army National Guard promotions are based on a Soldier’s overall performance, demonstrated leadership abilities, professionalism and future development potential, the news post noted, recognizing the best qualified Soldiers for a career in the New York Army National Guard.
Army National Guard Citizen Soldiers who serve the state and nation are eligible for monthly pay, educational benefits (from the state and federal government), travel across the globe, technical and leadership training, health and dental insurance and contributions towards retirement programs similar to a 401(k).
