Neal Cauto's show will be live from Ground Zero on Saturday. Ollie's War Stories on Sunday will be about the training being given to first responders. Fox will have specials. I wonder what cbs will do.

Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. That speech brings back so many emotional memories.
To: dansangel
Once things settle down for us, I hope to be back fairly regularly. That sounds great!
Have missed keeping up with the forgeries story being so busy with John's essay and this 911 post this week. Thanks for the link, that should help.

Ivan the terrible looks like it's living up to it's name.
I'm not in any projected path, but being on the east coast only 15 miles inland I do like to keep an eye on them. Also I found great comfort from FReepers last year in the leadup to and aftermath of Isabel that I am just trying to return the favor.

I'm sure FOX will do a good job of covering this subject.
I gave up on watching CBS years ago.

Shortly after the 1 year anniversary, my SIL gave me a book titled "What We Saw." It is a compilation of mostly reporters' words from that morning and the days following put together by (of all places) CBS.
I guess I've read it 100 times since then, but I have never been able to bring myself to watch the DVD that came with it. I'm going to try and watch it either tonight after the yung'un is asleep or tomorrow after hubby takes her to the playground.

Have never been through a hurricane although I remember alot of excitement and boarding up of windows during a visit with my relatives in Jacksonville, Fla. back when I was a girl, can't remember the name of that hurricane but it did miss Jacksonville.
Have been through a tornado and know how frightening that can be.
We do get the remnants of those hurricanes alot of times here in the North GA mountains, Opal tore this area up back in the early 90's, took alot of our oldest trees down.

Thought I would share this phone conversation that .45MAN just had with the FL DOT:
.45MAN: Hi - I'm checking the availability of gasoline on the Florida Turnpike.
State DOT person: Right now there is plenty of availability. May I ask why?
.45MAN: My wife and I are moving to Palm Beach County on Monday.
State DOT person: (amid peals of laghter) Are you out of your minds??? I can give you the Crisis Intervention phone number if you'd like!
Note: Unlike John Kerry, I am NOT making this up folks! :-)

lol Please don't go yet....wait a few more days.
To: dansangel
Wow!
I just spoke to my brother, it took 4 different cell phone calls to get the whole story.
He lives just outside of Orlando, he is alright but very concerned about Ivan and said that another is right behind that called "Ten" ?
He is not sure what he is going to do.
Prayers for him and all....

I spent all of my summers though the 1970s on the west coast of Florida, but it wasn't until I moved to Delaware that I ever had to deal with a hurricane (Gloria).
If you remember reading "Misty of Chincoteague" when you were young, you will get a good idea of where I live now....in fact hubby and I are going to be going over to chincoteague Island this afternoon for our first Friday afternoon "date" without the little one since June!!!

God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; Aquamarine and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation's leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.
~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~
We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.
Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

If I make it through a viewing I will be sure to let you know.
I do not want my daughter around when I watch it. She was only 3 then, but remembers the aftermath rather vividly.
At the time we lived in one of the flight patterns of the C-5s stationed at Dover Air Force Base. The silence in the following days was so horribly eerie. The only air traffic I heard were the choppers bringing the remains from the Pentagon to the morque.
I'm crying again just typing this.

I will definitely add your brother to my prayers. I have family in Sarasota, but they are a good ways inland. But friends in Bradenton live right on the water.
