Where was I. I too was unemployed at the time, and was on the way to the store to get some supplies for my family. when I head on the radio [WJR AM 760] about a airplane that hit tower #1. I ran inside to tell my wife. I then went to the store, and when I got back the whole world went crazy! As I sat there glued to the tv watching every nanosecond, of this cowardly deed, I grew very more angery. Lord I wanted to go back to my beloved Corps and prepare to ship out to somewhere, to NY to render aid, to the mideast to render payback, but where could I go.
I should tell a little about myself, I am a medically retired Marine [thanks bill klitoon!] I have a rod,6 screws, 3 pins in my left leg, a massive head injury. All of which has left me unable to work, for ever more. I had to give up my "job" in the Corps. I was a Crash, Fire, Rescueman [airport fire fighter, amonghst other things]
But I really wanted to go, and do something. So I did what I could do best any more I prayed.
I have also taught my daughter what it means to be an American.
We shall over come & prevail. NO MATTER WHAT THE PRICE, so help me GOD !!!
