Seven years ago today, I was sitting at work, clacking away at the keyboard, doing my job, minding my own business. One of my co-workers came into the office, and mentioned that a plane has flown into the World Trade Center. My thought was ‘frackin’ idiot pilot. how drunk do you have to be to hit a big-ass building like that?’. I remember recalling that a bi-plane has once flown into the Empire State Building. We talked about that for a few minutes, when another co-worker came in, and told us that a second plane had flown into the other tower. We knew then, that something was going on.
In the aftermath of 9/11, I wept for a week. It was the most horrendous thing I had ever experience, and hopefully that I will EVER experience in my life. The sheer magnitude of that event, which changed the lives of many people, forever. Seven years later, I still cannot think about it, without becoming misty. My heart aches for the loss of those people, and their families. For the survivors.
This coming election, there are going to be people who want us to believe that we are not under constant threat by violent Muslim extremists. They want to you believe that it was an isolated, one-time incident. And will probably point to the fact that in the seven years since that horrific day, we have not been attacked again. Of course we haven’t. We took the fight to them. The important thing is to:
God Bless America! And God bless the men and women who work and serve each and every day, so that we may remain free and proud. There are not words proper enough to say how much I appreciate all of the soldiers, airmen, marines and sailors who do their jobs.

Hmmm….uuuukay.
I really do enjoy comments, from both people who agree with me, and people who don’t. I do love to hear opinions etc. But I have little patience for idiots who yell, and can’t even take the time to try and use proper grammar. With that in mind, my response to this guy is….
How about this? Kiss my f’ing red, white and blue ass you worthless moron.
Contact a mod? I AM the mod you ignoramus waste of human flesh. I don’t know where you are from, but I’m in America,….that’s right, the good ol’ U S of A. Here, we have a little thing call freedom of speech. The same freedom allows me to express my opinion, is the one that allows you to look like a stupid, ignorant jackass as you do in your comment above.
Thank you for your comment though….it just makes me look all that much more intelligent.
Have a great day!
