"So many people living inside a tiny box, inside another building, within a couple blocks. So many people caring, enough to do their job. So many people sharing, so little time is lost. So many people screaming, so many sounds to hear. So many people crying, so little time to fear. So much stuff is falling and so many people run. So many victims panic and so many victims die, so truthful is this day, so faithful you and I. So much time is wasted, so struck by someone's hand. So much for freedom being free, so someone take a stand. So much for being united as the State of America must claim. So much for responsibility, so much for finding blame. So what's this constitution, written so in stone. So, September 11, 2001 is the day we stand alone." -Rich
What the September eleventh?
Gosh I just read a post talking about the fact that No One Noticed that it was September 11th and I actually had the gall to check the computer date…As if that person lied about it. I feel bad but then again thankful that the media was not shoving this into my face forcing me to relive what happened on that day.
The question use to be where were you when JFK was shot? I am pretty sure that one day soon it will be where were you the day the towers fell?
To answer both:
I have no idea when JFK was shot so I am pretty sure I was either young or not alive yet.
I was in Wichita Falls TX, actually Sheppard AFB, Thinking I was watching a movie preview that invovlevedairplanes running into buildings. I even asked the counter girl what that was ...she had not Idea. So I finished getting ready to march a group of ‘Newbies’ to some briefings and formed them up. A few minutes later, as we were heading off, five military training instructors came running at our formation yelling GET INSIDE!!!. The dread full bugle call was sounding and the kids, whom all still had the fear of basic military training in their blood, broke formation and bee-lined to the front of our dorm building. In an instant training took over and we, pretty new ourselves, verified the ID and searched the belonging of about three hundred forty seven freaked out people…as if they would have anything inappropriate. We spent the rest of the day locked down with NY residents stressed out and in tears.
So what were you doing?
