IMAGE: DAHLGREN. Va. (Sept. 11, 2019) – Navy chief select Emily Patch shares a story of heroism in response to the terrorist attacks and ensuing tragedies on 9/11. Patch was one of seven chief select ‘heroism readers’ based at commands located on Naval Surface Facility Dahlgren who recounted acts of heroism on that tragic day in our nation’s history. Patch – reading to military, first responders, government and contractor personnel gathered to honor the victims of 9/11 – recounted that: “When the Pentagon was hit by American Airlines Flight 77, Army Spc. Beau Doboszenski was working as a tour guide. After a Navy captain inquired if anyone had medical training, Doboszenski sprung into action. He was a former firefighter and had been trained as an EMT. He ran into the building, past barricades and police. Doboszenski gave first aid to victims and afterward, was part of a team that went back in to look for any survivors despite the building still being in flames.”
