    September 11 comes and goes again

    I remember watching the events unfold.
    Every time that date comes around I feel a lot of it all over again.

    I was thinking that too yesterday, it was amazing the amount of anger over the act I had. The various eye witness accounts that they playedon the news when I came into work, just sparked the nerves.

    I was scheduled for a meeting in tower two on one of the upper floors only two days later than the event...with several of the folks that perished, one of which was a woodworker I had already met at a previous meeting in Des Moines. To this day, I cannot watch any kind of footage or look at most pictures...

    I actually saw the second plane hit on CNN (before they recognized it as a plane) as I was dealing with email that morning at the Marriott Courtyard at BWI in MD. Boy, that was a very long drive home, with "official" cars passing me like I was standing still on I-95.

    I believe I will always remember where I was and what I was doing on 9/11 and at the time of JFK's assassination.

    Here in St. Louis, we had a "commentator" express his opinion that too much emphasis is placed on the day. If I had been able to call in to the station, I would have reminded him about December 7, 1941, D-Day, and any other day that our nation was threatened or attacked. I cannot keep from shedding tears to this day when I think about 9-11. How dare he try to minimize the lives lost and those that were forever altered!?!?! Makes me a bit upset...but that is how I feel.

    Makes me want us to go into a little construction. Make the middle east a parking lot. I know, to severe, but that's why we think with our heads and not our emotions. I pray nothing like this happens on American soil again.

    I think what I remember most was the attitude of Americans after it happened. Hell, even crooks took a break. We were all one. No black, white, asian, or latino. All one. Remember the flags everywhere? Nobody would think of beeping at somebody for sitting at a green light too long. No road rage. We were one. I wish we hadn't forgotten so fast.

    I remember the day like it was yesterday. Lost a firefighter friend. My wife was in the same Walmart with the some of the hijackers the night before in South Portland, Maine. I remember her telling me that she would stay up there for a few extra days because it seemed a bit safer. Then we found out that she may have passed these XXXXXXXXs in an aisle.
    I could cry for the time I've wasted, but thats a waste of time and tears.
