9/11
Her Mom Went Into Labor On 9/11. Eighteen Years Later — To The Day — She Joined the Navy
(NEW YORK) — Sept. 11, 2001 has always been part of Tierney Crutcher’s life story. It was the day her mother went into labor with her.
And Sept. 11 was a life-changing day for Crutcher again this year: She was sworn in as a Navy seaman recruit at a Tennessee recruiting station Wednesday, two days shy of turning 18.
The Memphis high school graduate and accomplished bowler grew up in an America at war. She says as a kid, she thought the military was only the Army and shooting people. A military career became appealing as she learned more about the different branches and choices.
