In 1980-82 I was stationed with a Marine Corps lieutenant named Leonard Hatton. Lenny later got out of the Marine Corps, attended the FBI Academy at Quantico, VA and became an FBI Special Agent. I remember attending his graduation ceremony at the academy in 1995 or 1996. Lenny and his wife Joanne were originally from New Jersey, and eventually Lenny landed an assignment with the FBI in New York City. He was on his way into work eleven years ago. Lenny was also a volunteer firefighter in the town where he grew up, as was his father. Instead of continuing to his office that day, Lenny went to Ground Zero. The last time he was seen was on the back of a fire truck heading INTO Ground Zero.

President Bush said the following about Lenny when he addressed an FBI Academy graduating class in October 2008:
"In the midst of this rapid change, we can be confident that one thing will never change -- and that is the character and courage of those who carry the badge. We see this character and courage in the story of an agent named Leonard Hatton. A bomb specialist for the FBI, Lenny had investigated terrorist attacks around the world. So when he saw smoke rising from the World Trade Center on September the 11th, 2001, he immediately understood the danger. With complete disregard for his own life, he ran to the scene to help others escape. And when the towers came crashing down, Lenny died beneath them. Earlier that same morning, Lenny had told his wife, "Just another regular day at work." Well, for a man like Lenny Hatton -- who always put others before himself -- it was another day at work. We must always honor the memory of this good and faithful servant -- and we vow that those who have given their lives in the war on terror shall never have died in vain."

Until we meet again my friend.
