Heartfelt thanks.

September 11^th is always a difficult day. I saw the second plane hit from a building in NJ. It is something you can't forget even if you want to. We just stood there, helpless, on the wrong side of the damned river.

I only saw the buildings come down on TV as I was back in the SCIF. We got busy fast. It was the first time since retiring that I had wished I still wore khaki to work.

If I had volunteered to go back on active duty it would not have been accepted. I was working for NSA and they would have blocked it. As it was my work was necessary for the younger guys to go do their thing.

National Defense is a team effort. Everybody has to do their part, whether it is the part they want or not.
