We were renting a place close to LAX & his company....
..I didn't turn on the TV that AM when I made breakfast to get him ready for work...
..I turned on the computer & FR (as usual)
The first thing I saw was the announcement that ALL PLANES GROUNDED.
I told my husband and he thought it was a joke.
After he looked at the thread, he turned on the TV....
..when the tower started coming down, we turned off the TV and just sat there and cried and prayed.
Our adult children...one in Florida and the other in the midwest both called just to be comforted.
The airport was only about 5 miles away....planes flying overhead constantly.....until that day....
...The silence was deafening.
The next week we started for home (Florida) and drove the distance..
....there were American flags everywhere!..all along the route...state after state, city after city, tiny town, small village...
What is shocking is how quickly we forget...
We are this close to electing BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA for President !!!!
We experienced the same. Drove home from Chicago in our rental car...flags hanging from overpasses on I-65 thru IN, KY, I-24 thru TN, I-75 thru GA...people standing and waving...listening to the Day of Prayer in DC on the radio...empty skies...it was unforgettable and eery at the same time.
