oh shit it's 9/11
well, I remember 2 years ago today i was working a night shift at Madden Tech on Ft. Hood, we were doing a test on a new Humvee mounted satelite system, when my wife (at that time) picked me up she said she had heard on the radio that a plane crashed into one of the world trade center towers on the local radio morning show. i remember thinking how tragic.
after a 5 minute car ride home i went inside as my wife went off to work, turned on the news to get some details on what had happened, and within a minute the second plane hit the remaining tower, i flipped out, this was no accident, not even something as terrible as a drunk pilot, it was much worse.
at this point i cannot do anything but stare at the tv in some kind of numb daze. i, without even noticing, got up and locked all my doors and closed the shades. it was a short time later that plane 3 hit the pentagon.
this was an all out attack on the united states, the place where i have spent my entire life, how could this be happening, why would this happen, who was doing this?
after the plane went down in penn. i didn't think i would ever sleep again, even though i had been up for well over 24 hours without the aid of drugs of anykind, 14 of those hours hard at work,
after an hour or two my body finally fell into slumber, but starting then and for weeks to come sleepp was not easy as i would awake from nightmares of the images that were pounded into my brain over and over, i could only imagine the horrors of the people in the buildings, or the planes.
and on this day, two years later, i hope people do not forget as they go through there day to day lives, i hope when elections come and go they think about that horrible day and make correct desicions as a people to ensure the american way of life.
