I think everyone who paid attention were shocked that day
I sat my 9 year old down that morning and told him he wasn’t going to school. We watched and I said” this is your Pearl Harbor.”
It is twelve years later and He is now one of the few and proud. And this muslim president and the biggest traitor to America, kerry wants my son to fight for the same people who knocked down the towers. Over their dead bodies.
I was standing in the living room looking at the TV with my mouth hanging open when the second plane hit.
One could have been an accident but two was all I needed to know for sure. And then more news started to register about a plane hitting the Pentagon and a plane crash in PA.
It was such a beautiful fall day. The contrast between the incomprehensible destruction and nature’s perfection was surreal. I was in the car when the first tower came down, and I was shaking so hard that I could barely keep my foot on the gas.
A few really bizarre days. No jets in the sky for the first time in my life.

That was a very good thing that you did for your son, and I couldn't agree more about the traitors amongst us.
Yes. I’ve spent much of my life being around planes, whether commercial or military. Their absence was eerie.
Yes, I would think so too.
When they let small private planes back into the air I was watching them fly low and slow past the tower at our local airport so the guys in the tower could get a visual confirmation of the tail numbers.
Funny thing, just this summer a local pilot started training crop dusters over a piece of land ending just south of me. Crop dusters are very unusual around here so I did some investigating on my own and checked the guy out. I even called the guy and he said he was happy that someone was paying attention and even invited me to come check out his operation.
Nice little plane. We have planes flying over us constantly, as well as helicopters, because we’re on the flight path to Logan airport in Boston and also near a small airport. I often don’t notice the sound unless one of the small planes flies directly over our house. We were on the back deck one evening a few years ago, and braced ourselves for a plane hitting our house. Fortunately, although it wasn’t at much altitude, it was high enough not to hit us. That was a thrill I hope not to experience again.
I was *just* eleven at the time. The main thing I remember is how scared all the adults were.
Thank you. We will win.
Never forget.
