Hmmm, Monday, Sept. 10, 2001 -
I spent the day poring over blue-prints and writing procedures for rebuilding Black Hawk helicopter tail pylons - came home and did housework because my 43-year old wife was 9-months pregnant with our daughter.
I had no idea our world would be forever changed the following morning.
Let us never forget why we fight this war - and why don't those treasonous Demoncrats just shut the hell up and quit bashing America and our Commander-In-Chief......

Amen to that. BTW, love, love, love the Blackhawk. Great piece of machinery; almost makes me wish I'd joined the Army.
Almost. ;-)

I was in Tuzla, Bosnia, on some free time. Had my home computer on. Was analyzing some legal cases freelance for a database for the GOP's redistricting effort. I Emailed my last batch to the DC HQ at 0000 hrs local time, 9/11/01 (6 PM EST, 9/10).
The next morning, while the rest of you all was still in bed, I went in and had a cigar. The translator for our office was giving them away for free--celebrating the birth of his daughter, Sarah, at 0400 that morning local time.
He recently wrote me. "No, nobody will ever forget HER birthday." No sir.
