Murray, Ky. – Brian Dennison was a cadet at West Point Academy, just an hour outside of New York City, when the Twin Towers fell. The events of September 11, 2001 set this officer-in-training's future in a decisive direction, and he went on to serve two tours in Iraq. Dennison, a Murray native, has returned to his hometown to work and live. He sat down with Jacque Day to discuss his time in the academy and his experiences overseas.
