September 11

Tell me where you were September 11, 2001. What do you remember? What does that date mean to you?

I was a stay at home with 2 small children, ages 1 and 4. We always kept the tv on PBS or Nickelodean. My Husband called and asked if I had been watching TV. I told him of course, and he said "Real" TV. I turned over to a regular network and was shocked as I watched the 2nd plane hit the buildings and then watched as the buildings collapsed. I was in total shock and then fear swept in. Would they start aiming planes at Atlanta? We have the largest International airport in the world. Could we be next? We mourned with the country in the days, weeks, months to follow.

My Brother in law decided that he needed and wanted to do something. he chose to enlist. He ended up in the National Guard as a medic and was sent to Iraq in May, 2005. In October, 2005, His humvee hit an IED. He was sent to Ramstein Air Force base and under went brain surgery and part of his temperal lobe removed to stop the bleeding. He came back to the states and was at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington DC.
While he was in the Hospital he met President and Mrs. Bush when the President came by to personally present to the injured men with their Purple Hearts.
