By Thomas Brading - September 2, 2021 − FORT BELVOIR, Va. — Two decades ago as the nation reeled from the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, a unique team of search and rescue Soldiers put their training to work at the Pentagon when they were needed the most.
The effects of that Tuesday morning left a lasting legacy on the Army’s Military District of Washington Engineer Company. Years later, the unit was renamed the 911th Technical Rescue Engineer Company for its efforts that day.

This is where we get to brag on the good Americans who make great things happen for their troops.
SOT has a Support Our Troops! motor vehicle specialty plate in Alabama. Every five years organizations with a specialty plate must gain its reissuance before the Legislative Oversight Committee. This year SOT’s number came up and in our preparation we found that everyone on the committee was new to us, there were some new procedures, and there were new options for greater benefit to the troops that we could put in place as part of the reissuance process. Which is where Mr. Logan Gray of the Southern Strategy Group comes in. SOT called him and he worked on all the local preparatory work beforehand. He saved SOT a great deal of time and money in travel and other costs catching us up with the committee members and determining and organizing what did and did not need to be efforted beforehand. On behalf of America’s troops and their families, thank-you Mr. Gray, a US Army veteran.
