Good morning all. A real week to remember. I'm sure we all remember where we were on 9-11 as some of us remember where we were when JFK was assassinated and some even Dec 7th, 1941. A sad reminder but it also shows our resilience and courage. Prayers for all who lost loved ones on that day.

SCOUTS OUT!

  Yes, to all three events, ladtx.

  When Pearl Haror happened, it was the radio that broadcast the incredulous news of the Japanese attack, when I was7 1/2.
  WWII shaped my patriotism and love for America in a mighty way.

  When President Kennedy was assassinated, it also was through a radio broadcast that I learned of it.
  A military wife then, living in Fairbanks, Alaska, we did not receive television broadcasts for three weeks after any event, the fims shipped first to Juneau - a week later to Anchorage - and THEN to Fairbanks.

  My husband had not yet gone to the base and was home with me, and the neighbors in the duplex came over to with us try to absorb the happenings and the impact they would make on the world.

  Thankfully, Fox News Channel on cable was on when 9-11 occurred, so received it as the day unfolded.

  Yes - we owe so much to those who are willing to set aside 'normal' lives to stand between us and whatever evil in the world takes aim at personal liberty and freedom for mankind - and, most especially, for America.

  God - bless each and every one, and those who are their loved ones and friends. Amen.

Good afternoon, L. Just now getting back to the thread after posting it this morning. I'm glad to see you here today, and also noticed several posts later that you posted your tribute to your fallen Vietnam helicopter pilots, too. Thank you for posting it again, and even if you can't do it daily, these Military Mondays are a perfect place to do so.
