We Will Never Forget
There's so much I could tell you about those days, but I'll Keep it short here! Let's never forget what happened, those who are fallen, those who have since fallen of related injuries, those who served and all who are yet to serve. Let us never forget - Let us never be moved from taking the fight to the enemy. ISM, as OSI was, remains vigilant and dedicated to developing information weapons systems to hunt, detect and bring Justice to those who are the enemies of Freedom and Truth. We will always take Justice to the enemy.
9-11. We will Never Forget. This is an unusual post for me... But, this year we launched a technology that will become a game-changer for the good guys. ( Intelligentsm.com ) Over the years, many have asked me "so, what do you really do?" It's not that I don't want to share that information, but I have never been one to talk about myself, as I really believe in the TEAM. Life isn't about a single person - it's about all of us - and OUR Stories. Here's one to honor the fallen.
When 9-11 hit, I was in the office in our Richmond Office that morning... Within hours, we were en-route to NYC and on the ground helping our brothers. I left part of my team there and headed overseas to the Pacific Rim on an EP detail to support a VIP who needed to meet with his people in that region and also assisted other various "collection" efforts taking place in support of the larger effort. During that detail, we avoided an Abu Sayyef operative and surveillance that was eventually thwarted by the government of that country.
As a matter of nostalgia and history of the team and guys that made up OSI at that time, here are a couple images (taken by the team) for remembrance. We all remember our fallen brothers and sisters and those who have continued to suffer, and those who have recently passed away from the after effects of the incident.
I post this here this year, as our former group, "OSI SOG" has been retired now since 2015 and I am still proud of all of the guys who worked for and with me in those years. We did a lot of great things and helped a lot of good people.
But, as the artwork that was posted on our website indicated - we never forgot - and I will never forget. This event still drives me today, along with the events of Hurricane Katrina. We are still in the business of helping people and our government, and in the business of bringing Justice to the bad guys.
The technology that originated within the operations of OSI has now become a reality, and offers law enforcement and military real-time solutions to intelligence and information sharing - the ONE MAJOR ISSUE that is without doubt, the most causal factor leading to the inability and our nation's failure to interdict and detect, avoid and effectively respond to the tragedies of 9-11. May all who died, rest in peace, and may all who live, NEVER FORGET. Shalom
