Where was I when the world stopped turning on 09/11/2001?

Thanks to Lori (my78novata) for this graphic with my name.  All other graphics are from my PSP palace friends and scarfed from emails. :-)

I distinctly remember my whereabouts of 09/11/2001.  I was getting ready for work when the first plane hit the tower.  I was on my way to work listening to the radio when the second tower hit.  By that time, we knew it was terrorists.  By the time I got to work at the hospital, we had word that the Pentagon had also been hit.  My coworkers were in the radiology holding area watching the TV screen.  I remember the looks of fear, shock, and disbelief on the faces of my coworkers.

I happened to think about my son and DIL.  I went outside the hospital to call them on my cell phone.  They were oblivious that we were under attack.  My son could not believe it.

I returned to work, but it was hard to keep my mind on what I was doing.  I remember seeing the names of the missing and photos plastered.  My heart so went out to those families and to the families of the firefighters and police officers that perished as well.

That is why I get so angry when I hear people saying things against our president and that we should have never went to war.  I think Darryl Worley's song, "Have You Forgotten," says it all about why this war is necessary.

May we never forget that we are fighting this war against terrorism on their soil with the hope that we can keep it offof U.S. soil.  May webe thankful for a president who is willing to back up what he says.  May we also remember the men and women fighting for our freedom.  May we realize freedom comes with a price and may we bow in silence for a moment to remember those who have fallen on 09/11/2001 and our troops and their families who have fallen, as well as the ones who are still fighting for our freedom.

Have You Forgotten?

Lyrics:

I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start preaching
Let me ask you this my friend

CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it every day
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet they remember
Just what they're fighting for

CHORUS 2
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
