Sept. 11 attacks inspired soldier killed in Iraq


NORTH MERRICK, N.Y. (AP) _ A Long Island man who was inspired to join the Army at age 34 after watching the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks was killed this week when a roadside bomb detonated near his Humvee in Iraq.

Spc. Scott M. Bandhold, 37, was killed along with Pfc. Roland Calderonascenio, 21, of Miami, on Wednesday in Misiab. Both men were assigned to the 1st Battalion, 67th Armored Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, in Fort Hood, Texas.

In a posting on a high school alumni Web site, he described how while in Portugal after his divorce, he watched the World Trade Center towers fall, Newsday reported in Saturday's editions.

"In what seemed like slow motion, I watched as our Twin Towers crumbled to the ground," he wrote. "I had to wait two years before I could join (divorce, legal fees, etc.) the Army ... I deploy in October."
