Thank you my friend LTC Greg Henning for posting your memory of your first week of teaching at North East High School on September 11, 2001.
"Being an Iraq veteran, [you use your experience Iraq veteran]as in his classes. He even teaches a whole semester course called “The Medal of Honor.”

"One of the most horrific days in American history occurred in Greg Henning’s first week of teaching at North East High School.
“The principal came on the intercom and said one plane crashed into a tower,” Henning recalls, “and then 30 minutes later another plane crashed into the other tower.
“We pretty well knew at that point in time our country was at war. By the end of the day, over 2,000 people were dead.”
It has been 20 years since that day, and Mr. Henning teaches his students about the longest war in American history which stems from Sept. 11, 2001.
Being an Iraq veteran, he uses that experience in his classes. He even teaches a whole semester course called “The Medal of Honor.”
“It’s a character education class,” he said. “Every year, we take students down to [United] Flight 93 [in] Shanksville and let them experience that.”
Remembering 9/11 — FBI Response
The United Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pa. is where one of the four hijacked planes crashed, leaving all 44 passengers dead.
“It’s really profound to go down there and walk the ground and hear the stories,” Jennings said. “What happened there that day, it’s heart wrenching on one level, but there were heroes on that aircraft.”
