I was at work and we watched the events as they happened, from the first reports of a small plane hitting the WTC to Flight 93 crashing. It was awful to witness the towers falling. Knowing people were IN it, being pulverized to death. Or worse.

I was angry. I was pissed off. I suspected Iran or Iraq…I called home and my X (then hubby) suspected AQ- he being more aware of the threats to the US. He wanted to reenlist THAT day for the Marines. He eventually did. My oldest daughter was at college down in Boston, which went into total lock down shortly after the second plane hit the second tower. Her entire school went to it’s fallout shelters underground.

Driving home from work that day, I remember not seeing a SINGLE plane in the sky. That afternoon, I drove to Boston to pick up my daughter, who wanted nothing to do with Boston. Driving to the city, one has to go up some hills before finally seeing the skylines…it was eerie as heck to see F16’s flying low, over the city, in the late afternoon. 6 of them. My X taped all the news on the day- we have it all forever recorded. Of course, lots of channel surfing…but it’s weird to see so many who now disregard those attacks, in shock, tears, angry…I can’t remember who, bone anchor was hoping for revenge attacks THAT night.

In memory of MARY JANE (MJ) BOOTH…

I have decided to join the team of Project 2996 again. I did a post for Jason Dahl 2 years ago for this fine project. This year the person I am going to be posting on is Mary MJ Booth….

I will always remember this day! The
day the skies became silent; the day we all feared the worst. The day we all held our breaths in fearful anticipation as we wondered what would come next. The day we all said
a silent prayer. The day we all united and thereafter were wearing flag pins.

But today, seven years later I am sadened as I think of how we have fallen back into the same old pre
9/11 state of mind and wonder, when
and where will this day repeat itself.

I was almost done with my intitial training in the C-130 @ Little Rock on 9/11. I had ’bout one more month to go. At the squadron, we all looked at each other and knew that this was war. Especially when we walked out of a brief to catch the next bit of news and saw the second tower fall. Don’t remember anything in the brief. I remember going home that evening, and watching the news of the smoldering ruins. This event, I believe, is one time I know I felt like my grandfather felt about Pearl Harbor. I sat down with my wife, and prayed for the people lost, their families, and then I asked God’s vengence upon those who would target and murder innocent people. I think God’s been doing a pretty good job of using the U.S. military, and her allies, to send as many of those rats straight to hell.

I for one will never forget, nor forgive.

I begin teaching a class in American Government today — to a group of homeschoolers. They don’t have much personal connection to 9/11. I’ll be seeing what I can do to bring them to an understanding of the larger meaning of 9/11.
