Three years already....? Seems like yesterday. Hope we never become "numb" to this day. I will never forget what I felt that day, I've never felt anything like it in my life (48 y/o) .... shocked, stunned .... angry. I happened to have the TV on, about to go out the door, when they first reported the first hit, and didn't even move a foot for literally three hours. When I finally did, it was with most surreal of feelings.
I had just been to New York two weeks before, to the Statue of Liberty, and was in Battery Park, which I had just seen completely enveloped in the dust of those two magnificent towers, which you had to actually see for yourself to truly admire. I will always vividly remember being near a normally busy air traffic corridor (Providence RI) and not seeing a single airplane in the skies for three days ........ surreal.
I still can't believe today, three years later, that this actually happened, and that those two mammoth towers are really gone, that this whole crazed scenario actually took place......
God bless anyone who was lost in there, anyone who lost someone there, anyone who has been lost in the fighting since, or has lost someone fighting for our safety since. Whatever your political beliefs, these young people are putting their lives at risk every single day in the belief that they are keeping the rest of us safe in our homes, to type on computer screens, about "little toy cars".
Respect that, respect them .
(hope this wasn't too "political, Bobby)
