On this episode of #DIAConnections, we reflect on the minutes, hours and days after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. You'll hear how two former DIA colleagues immediately took action to support counterterrorism efforts, seeking those responsible. The episode also includes a riveting story from Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary for President George W. Bush, who was with the president on Air Force One the day of the attacks. https://lnkd.in/gGt3pd5w

Defense Intelligence Agency reposted this
Ron Bucca was an FDNY fire marshal who attempted to rescue victims in the South Tower before it collapsed on 9/11. He also was a Defense Intelligence Agency officer who supported the agency’s counterterrorism mission and suspected that a terrorist attack was coming. We partnered with DIA to tell the story of a man who made it his “mission in life” to increase awareness and prepare New Yorkers for a potential terrorist attack. https://lnkd.in/e-cRcQqB

In honor of #SuperhumanDay, DIA recognizes our very own Ms. Chandra Smith! Ms. Smith, an IT accessibility officer, is the Vice President of DIA’s Blacks in Government chapter, and was recently crowned Ms. Wheelchair America 2024! Ms. Smith is a triple amputee ─ and a stroke & sepsis survivor ─ who acquired a disability just three years ago. She faced a 1% chance of survival and beat the odds. After a year in the hospital, she returned to work, where she advocated for the 64+ million Americans with disabilities and organized DIA’s inaugural IT accessibility symposium. “I have learned that resilience can turn adversity into opportunity. I am dedicated to creating a future where every voice, regardless of ability, is valued and empowered. Let’s unite to champion universal design in our workplaces, ensuring equal access and opportunity for all.”
