What's almost funny (if weren't so pathetic) is that every time they scrambled those jets, the switchboard lit up with complaints--"You're waking my baby" "It's too loud" etc. etc. I'll bet it was the same on 9/11. My hubby didn't fly (he was on a ship), but our neighbors did.
Tell your husband this old Jarhead appreciates his time in now!
Tell him it's the young guys turn! :)
