Prior to the disassembly, members of the ROTC battalions gathered to hear a reading of Todd Beamer’s phone call from United Airlines flight 93. Military officers-many of whom joined the service (or decided to stay in) following the attacks in 2001-reminded the midshipmen and cadets that these events 18 years ago shaped this nation and its military to be what they are today.
