yes I remember exactly... I was sleeping in from a late shift the nite before.. my youngest (MrsMacLarry) came in and woke me up saying that a plane had hit some big towers in New York.. probably terrorists.. so I groggily got up and went into the living room to watch the tv.. as she was catching me up on what was going on the second plane hit the second tower.. at first we thought it was film of the first hit till we realized the first hit was in the frame.. and the announcer basically saying OMG.. the second tower has been hit with a different plane..
.. right then I knew the world as I knew it changed.. scared.. yes.. worried .. yes.. surprised.. yes.. upset... yes.. pissed.. you better beleive it..
I called my wife to see if she was okay.. and then my eldest.. at least I knew they were safe..
.. and I knew that it was all gonna hit the fan militarily.. the bases would tighten up security if not shut down.. traffic going to and from work would be a nitemare.. etc..
so thats what I was doing eight years ago today.. and today Im at work.. I have my red on to support our troops.. I have my flag displayed at the house.. and I have a flag lapel pin on that I only wear on 9-11 ..
