KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Like many people, Capt. Daniel F. Gwosch, the Company commander of Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, has many memories about the time he spent in college. Unfortunately, one of his most vivid is of a day that far too many Americans remember all too well.
“I had just left my English class on a Tuesday morning and was upset because I had made a C on a paper,” said the native of Greenfield, Mass.
Gwosch said he made it to a TV in time to see the second plane hit the towers on the morning of Sept. 11.
Even though he had just become part of the Clemson University Reserve Officer Training Corps program a few weeks before, the Freshman history major gained a whole new perspective on how much his life was about to change.
“It clicked for me that morning what my role in ROTC was and what my job would be. At that moment I understood exactly what I had to do,” said Gwosch.
