13 years ago today I stood formation in front of an American flag in South Korea. The attack 14 years ago put me back in the uniform of the USAF.

The Koreans had a real moment of silence. God bless them.

Thank you for re-upping Johnny in response to our nation's need.

This year I broke down and bought a new flag after July 4. The flag we had flown for over 35 years was given to us by my mother. She was a great patriot, a daughter of Polish immigrants. She worked in a war plant in New Jersey during WWII, inspecting parts for airplanes I believe. The flag she gave us was really worn out. I spoke to the VFW about their flag retiring ceremony, they do it on Veteran's Day. My mom passed in 2007 the day after Veteran's Day. Instead of putting out our new flag I brought out Mom's to fly here one last time. Every 9/11 since 2001 she was adamant we should never forget. Miss you Mom! Especially on a day like today.
