AK, H, Tia D, and I pulled into Tulsa in the early early hours of 9/11/01 for a short-term move. I woke up that morning to AK running up the stairs to our temp home saying to turn on the television. I watched the burning towers collapse after the terrorist attack.
I'll never forget the attacks that day, nor the tremendous courage displayed by first-responders and leadership and reponse by President George W. Bush.
This was not the first attack by islamic-fundamentalist terrorists on the American way of life (ie. freedoms of religion, speech, capitalism), but may be the most memorialized and hopefully the last one of its' kind on our soil as long as Americans continue to remember that day and fight to prevent a repeat.

Well spoken and my sentiments exactly. How do we get more people feeling this way? Maybe they do but the mainstream media certainly don't let me know of that. STAND UP AMERICA. STAND UP AND DO NOT BE A SILENT MINORITY OR MAJORITY. Will someone kick that soapbox out from under my feet.
Beautifully said - go Poli Sci major!
Awesome tribute. Thank you. And Mom Marysue...we will stand!
I just noticed something pretty funny that has absolutely nothing to do with your 9/11 post. Your music player has the title "tuneage" and mine is "tunage" which do you suppose is correct? I don't know, but I know that my tunes are better, and I hate to say it, but so are Annette's.
Pat, I'm not sure which is correct, but the playlist WILL be updated
I think the tunes on my music week blog beat you all.
