9/11 Rememberance

I remember I was at work when the first plane hit The World Trade Center. I was in the parking lot of 19B when my wife called to tell me about it, and as we were talking on the phone the second plane hit. Could it be some awful screw-up at air traffic control? No, It was clear our country was under attack by somebody. It became even more clear when we heard the Pentagon had been hit. Our boss authorized us to go buy a television set and VCR at Wal Mart so we could watch the news as it unfolded. I remember wondering how many other targets were going to be hit. I was shocked as anyone, but not entirely surprised. As people so often like to say these days, It wasn't a matter of "if", but "when".
