I can't either. I lost a good friend that had an office in the basement of the Pentagon that day.

Armymarinedad, you don't need to apologize for your passion. If anyone has a right to be passionate about this war, having two sons in the field, you have that right. We need all the supportive voices in this nation to stand up and keep talking and telling the truth. Thank you to you and your sons.
Sauropod, I am truly sorry for your loss. Thank you for everything you're doing as well.
I did not lose friends or loved ones on 9/ll but I will never forget being frozen in horror as I stared at the unfolding attacks, nearly unable to speak most of the day, realizing thousands of innocent people had been slain.
At the time I was working for a company that provides breathing medication for chronically ill elderly patients. A large number of the people I took care of were from NY. One woman lost 5 friends/family members that day. Some patients were so terrified they could barely function, others wanted to do nothing but talk about the tragedy. All of them feared it would happen again which sparked panic they would run out of medication. The added anxiety of going without treatment for a person who struggles to breathe is stress they can ill afford. Fighting this war is worth it, if for no other reason than never again having our citizens shuttering with dread and agony at the hands of terrorists. But I know we are accomplishing so much more than that.
