The event on September 11, 2001, also known as the “9/11” brought the brave men, such as the military armed forces, firefighters, and police officers, out of their comfort zones to fight terrorist attacks and bombings. Learn about how such events gave wisdom to them and how they give back to the country by paying it forward to their fellowmen. This series aims to inspire many and to give tribute to these brave men.

One of these brave men is Craig Legory, a US veteran who served in the navy. He shared his experience during 9/11. He was destined in Okinawa, Japan, wherein a typhoon was coming through. Checking up the television, they knew about the chaos happening in the World Trade Center. They had a dynamic evening from typhoon readiness to imminent attack readiness.

How Is He After 9/11?

The transition after the 9/11 event may be traumatic for many, but for Craig, it was unique because it gave them brand new and upgraded gears. He continued his service in the US Navy, going through training exercises and jumping from destination to destination.

Currently, he is a single father who faces the challenge of juggling work, doing household chores and supporting his children in their endeavors. In this challenging time, he gives importance to communication and schedule, remaining focused on the things he does.

What Are The Lessons He Wants To Leave To His Children?

His military experience made him the man he is now, which made him grateful as it tested his abilities, made him better, and kept him humble. The way to pay it forward is to teach his children the lessons that will help them in life.

According to Craig, they should make every day better than yesterday. The actions they take today shape the future they are going to have tomorrow. He reminded them to take responsibility for their actions; hence, they should maximize everything. Lastly, they should listen to others’ opinions, but they should be the ones to make the ultimate decision.
