Today marks 22 years since Alabama native, Army Major Dwayne Williams, was killed at the Pentagon near Washington D.C. during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Williams, a native of Jacksonville and a graduate of the University of North Alabama, was serving at the Pentagon when the building was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001. Today marks 22 years since Alabama native, Army Major Dwayne Williams, was killed at the Pentagon near Washington D.C. during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
“She can’t take this on, so the mantle has fallen on me for the first time,” said Roy Williams, who is also the spokesperson for the Birmingham Public Library and a former longtime reporter for The Birmingham News. “She wanted me to continue honoring Dwayne.” “I hear from people who knew my brother, who even 20 years later, were honored to get the chance to work with him. He was a leader,” he said. “People are reaching out to me who knew my brother and talking about how he touched their lives.”
The career military man was just 40 years old, yet the legacy of Major Williams remains pronounced in his hometown and beyond.
