More than 100 engineers from the Tennessee Army and Air National Guard continue to support recovery operations in East Tennessee counties impacted by severe flooding following Hurricane Helene. These Guardsmen are working with state, county, and local emergency personnel by removing flood and storm debris in Carter, Cocke, Greene, Unicoi, and Washington counties. Using bulldozers, dump trucks, chain saws, skid steer loaders, and other equipment, Soldiers and Airmen are helping clear roads and other critical locations so emergency managers can improve services to the affected areas.

On this somber day, we remember the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The @USArmy stands united with our nation as we reflect on the bravery and resilience of so many Americans that day. We honor the lives lost and the heroes who rushed to the scene to help those in need. We also remember the sacrifices and strength shown by our country as we came together to protect our homeland in the years that followed.
