I was working the second shift and got to bed around 0100. My Mom (who lives in Ohio) called and woke me around 0630 and said WE ARE BEING ATTACKED very franitically! The second Boeing 767 had not hit the WTC yet. I rubbed my eyes looked outside and thought you're nuts Mom. I then turned on the T.V. to the horrible site we all have seen so many time since. Minutes later the second 767 slammed into the WTC, and then it was very clear what was going on. After watching T.V. endlessly for many hours, I got a call from my Supervisor not to come to work, as I was working at Oakland International Airport at the time. The Airport was on lockdown. NOBODY was a permitted to be on the flight line except the police, and they weren't messing around. It was a terrible period in our nations history. I too, still feel the pain for all the families affected on that faitfull day. Our nation will never forget, and never be the same. It is true we lost some of our innocents that day. I remember telling my wife that day we were witnessing history. Just the wrong kind. Unfortunately, hatred brings out the absolute worst in human beings.

Tomorrow 9/11/10, I will be taking my family to the Airshow in Mather, CA and I will be handing out many thanks to our troops. Oh yeah, and see our military in action!

Peace be with you all!
