Veterans Voice: Former adjutant general recalls 'eerie' days after 9/11
The September trip to South Korea was supposed to be a goodwill mission sponsored by the Defense Department. At the time, Reginald Centracchio was adjutant general of the Rhode Island National Guard and it was his honor to escort 42 veterans of the Korean War back to the place where they had served.
“It was somewhat overcast,” he remembers. A storm was brewing to the south that day as General Centracchio was standing on the edge of the demilitarized zone with some staff members and the group of Rhode Island veterans.
“We had been invited by South Korea to experience a ceremony which they did to recognize the end of what they call the Battles of the Outposts,” the final, bloody two years of the Korean War when half of America’s casualties occurred.
The event was being held to recognize the contributions that these Rhode Island veterans had made a half-century earlier.
While the group was gathered,
