Kyle Police Department training coordinator Caine Johnson spoke during the 9/11 ceremony, explaining how he reenlisted in the military after the attacks. “My story is just one of thousands of the stories of Americans, who enlisted for the first time, reenlisted in the military or [were] inspired to be a first responder after what they watched unfold on 9/11. Americans will always rise to the occasion to preserve our way of life and to protect others,” said Johnson.
