MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- Master Sgt. Roderick Vega, 23rd Civil Engineer Squadron emergency services flight operations superintendent, was going through the basic instructor’s course at the Department of Defense Fire Academy when 9/11 happened. “I asked my commander if I could be on one of the teams preparing to deploy, and he said no. My commander told me that my mission was to train the upcoming Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen and educate them on everything I knew, so they could go out and fight the war.” (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Joshua Green)
