every year we watch the 9-11 specials on tv. we never want to forget.
my sister was supposed to be on the hijacked flight out of Boston but she was late and missed it.
I was about 5 miles from the hub on an all night feeder run when the news on the radio said " a private plane just crashed into the side of the World Trade Center in NY." i laughed thinking of the visual of a small plane hitting that huge building. while fueling my tractor another driver told me what really happened and that another commercial airliner hit the second tower.
when i got home, my wife and I were clued to the tv as we watched one and then the other tower collapse. i then had to go to bed so i could work that night.
I remember a couple days later when more details were known how angry I was and how everyone wanted to bomb the whole middle east and wipe them all from the face of the earth. even though there was so much uncertainty about the world in those first few days everyone still came to work.
We did not lose anyone personally but one of our drivers lost his son over there and we still have Upsers whose sons and daughters have served or are still serving over there so we can have our pizza and beer and watch football games.
God Bless Them All ( and those who lost their lives on 9-11 and since.)
