For the last several years on every 9/11, Captain Troy Lipp
has visited John Poole Middle School to tell the 7th Grade students the story
of 9/11. Not in textbook style, but in a
very personal narrative as Captain Lipp was one of the Task Force Leaders of
Maryland Task Force One that responded to the Pentagon that tragic day.
Most, if not all, of these 7th Grade students
were not alive that fateful day thus it is a history lesson for them – a very
important history lesson. Captain Lipp
wants to make sure the kids understand what happened and the impact of the
day. How better to learn than from someone
who responded to the Pentagon and lived it for many days straight?
After the presentation for the 7th graders, some members of
Maryland Task Force One (Urban Search and Rescue) ate lunch with the students.
