I didn't want to hijack anyones thread.
I never paid attention to politics before this day. I was a lost soul in that day, I knew I had conservative leanings and I always voted as such, but this moment I will never forget, I knew he was with us and he lead us those dark days. I've never missed a vote since, I write letters to my Congressmen and Senators, and I will never forget those words "I hear you, and the people who knocked down these buildings will hear all of us!"

Could you imagine the speech that owe-bunghole would have given if he was President when this happened?

I wish we had a president who loved this country once again. Bush wasn't perfect, but at least he could throw a fucking baseball!

I skipped most my classes that day to sit in front of the CNN feed in the cafeteria. I already knew I was going to war after that second plane hit. |

I don't remember much following the attacks. It's all kind of a blur for me.
I was stationed in Germany when it happened. Thanks to the 6 hour time difference, it was in the afternoon for me. We had just started Phase Maintenance in one of our aircraft. I was outside smoking when it came over the radio, so I didn't hear the initial reports. Someone came out to tell me, and I thought they were fucking with me. It wasn't until I walked back inside and hearing about it on AFN that I realized it was actually happening. The Company Commander called an emergency formation to break the news, and to tell us that we were at Threatcon Delta. All flight operations stopped and started running armed guards all over the Kaserne. Since I was the Company Armorer, I'd been tasked to issuing and recovering weapons and ammo around the clock, so I don't remember all that much during that time. But if there was one thing I do remember, it was the wave of flowers, cards and signs that covered the fence by the front gate. The locals were quick to offer their condolences.

Time and global politics, have allowed me to somewhat forget, just how great some of nations allies were in the days following the attacks. There was some real and heartfelt outpouring of support, and shared rage in those days. At the Valencia MotoGP race, the first race following the attacks, a Spaniard, Sete Gibernau, won. I watched as his crew chief handed him the stars and stripes for the victory lap, instead of Spains Tri-colore, and the whole damn place went nuts, as the rest of the field fell in behind him. The good folks in the world, understood, shared in the pain, and WANTED us to drop the hammer back then. Shit changes, I guess. |

All sporting events soon after 9/11 were crazy. First thing I went to was monster trucks like a week after than a baseball game.
The crowd after the national anthem was insane. Monster trucks crowd in Phoenix AZ one week after was the loudest thing I've ever herd. Shit, I'm still gettin a little dusty thinking about it. Went on for like 10 minutes.. Was truly awesome |
