Mike Raderstorf speaks to the Rotary Club of Gainesville on Monday at the First Baptist Church banquet hall in Gainesville on the topic “what goes on behind the scenes when a national emergency hits.” Raderstorf told the Rotarians that terrorism today isn’t always state-sponsored or connected to a particular group.
As a U.S. Army Reserve intelligence officer and someone schooled in disaster emergencies, Mike Raderstorf got an insider’s look at one of America’s most painful terrorist attacks, the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15. And the memories linger, as he shared in vivid detail Monday with the Rotary Club of Gainesville. “For those who lost their lives and those who were injured, that was a horrific day,” he told the group, meeting at the First Baptist Church on Green Street in Gainesville.
