Can you believe it has been eight years? Seems like yesterday....

God Bless the Heroes, their families and the USA.

Another one of those tragic days when you remember where you were, what you were doing, when it happened.

I've had too, too many days like that, and very little hope for the human race.

I was too young to remember Kennedy being shot too clearly.

I do remember 9/11 very well. I remember the unease I felt being at work, trying to get the latest news. Trying to calm my students who were very agitated... all the while wanting to flee and pick up my own kids from their schools and protect them.

It seemed like it just kept happening. Everything was in slow motion. I wondered when it would hit Chicago, and what the grand finale would be. Very frightening day.

I still hold hope. For all the bad things in the world, there is good happening. It is often neglected when the nightly news comes on.

In aviation the weather that day was CAVU (ceilings and visibility unlimited). I was going to take advantage of that and do some flying. When I got to the airport office I put in my fuel order for the plane. The airport manager said "You ain't going nowhere" then he pointed at the TV. I turned to look at the live pictures, and a few seconds later, the second plane hit. The most erie site for the next few days was looking up into crystal clear blue skies and not hearing or seeing a single airplane. We all have our feeling on religion, but why is it, when the inconceivable happens, the first words to fall from our lips are "Oh my God."?
