Good morning, Beachy!

*HUGS*

Memories of a sad day - also a Tuesday morning, beautiful as September mornings often are in this part of the country. I was sitting at my computer in the living room watching one of the early news shows when the second plane hit. When the Pentagon was hit at 9:45, it was obvious that we were at war again.

Some of my wife's family were finishing up a European vacation that morning. Their flight from London to Dulles was diverted to Gander, where they enjoyed the hospitality of Newfoundland for several days before finally making it home.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Good morning CMN ((HUGS))

I was sitting right where I am now...at work in front of the computer. Oblivious to what was going on until my husband called to ask if we were being let out. That’s when I got the news...went to the office next door where there was a tv and watched. Was able to see the Pentagon fire from the building catwalk.

I remember being angry that our country hadn’t protected us like I felt they should have. Those lunatic, murdering bastards should never have been able to be in this country much less hijacking out planes.

I wonder if I saw your wife’s family in the documentary about Gander and Newfoundland?

It was just wonderful what those people did for complete strangers. I’m not only awed by that but also what people were able to accomplish in such a short time.
