Remember this curious individual in the vicinity of the WTC, with an interesting comment?

I went through all the ABC mpegs from the 9/11 archive and located the 'foreign soldier clip'. It was broadcasted on the 13th of september, sandwiched between two clips that are clearly not from 9/11.

I just want to get this info out, before this clip starts a life on its own, just like the cameraplanet footage of a fireman saying 'there's abomb in the building, start clearing out', which was about a bomb threat in a high school, not in a WTC building.



Here's the link to archive.org: http://www.archive.org/details/abc200109131818-1900 at 25:17 minutes

This is the patch the soldier has on its shoulder:

Leaders unveil 9-11 ‘Never Forget’ flag

Soldiers of the 42nd Infantry Division task force, known as Task Force Liberty, momentarily paused from their deployment preparations Sept. 11 to remember the tragic events of three years ago. Part of the division ceremony at Fort Drum included a presentation to the command of the 9-11 remembrance flag, depicting the 42nd Infantry Division’s new motto, “Never Forget.”

“We stand here today, three years after that terrible day, to remember the sacrifice and devotion of so many Rainbow Soldiers,” said Maj. Gen. Joseph Taluto, 42nd Infantry Division commander, to the more than 100 assembled Soldiers.

Soldiers from the Rainbow Division were among the first military responders at the World Trade Center site on Sept. 11, 2001. The division would later assume command and control of the entire New York National Guard joint task force for response and recovery in lower Manhattan. The National Guard response in New York City would reach more than 1,800 Soldiers, airmen, sailors and Marines in the days and weeks following the attacks.
