Well done Karen, Well done...:lmao:
 

I just saw what Vicki had posted about my experience on 9-11. For the last few days I have both been happy and sad. The shooting of Bin Ladden stirred up a lot of memories that I don't think I will ever forget. I remember leaving the office building I was in and walking on the streets of Manhattan, it was a quite errey feeling, the worst part came when the Air Force had the F-16's flying over Manhattan and everybody stopping on the street and looking up into the sky and not seeing anything but hearing the jet engines. Little did any of us know at the time that they were our jets, everybody was ducking expecting another jet to crash into another building. I remember walking over the 59th street bridge and it was quiet except for the sounds of fire trucks and ambulances coming into the city to try to take care of the people at the WTC. Looking out over downtown from the bridge and just seeing the smoke from the fires and soot drifting from downtown into Brooklyn. I never saw so many people walking in mass and not even making a noise. I just wonder if we were all in shock because not one person was taking, just walking to get home to their families. Some sceptics say that we should get out of the mid east but I can't live with that and I will tell you why. Many of you know that I work for the nhl during the hockey season at MSG. Well that year our crew was asked to volunteer to work the fireman's vs police ice hockey game the following January. Needless to say every seat was sold out with the proceeds going to the police and firemans fund for the families of 9-11. Well anyway, before the game started, all of the wives, husbands, mothers, fathers and children of the fallen were escorted to seats in center ice. After those families sat down, the fire department brought out a large bell and the bell was rung after every policeman and fireman's name that died on 9-11 was read. I cried my eyes out but what made me hope that we get every terroist is that looking into center ice and seeing those families especially the children who lost a parent crying realizing that they will never see that parent, child or spouse again kind of stuck in my brain and heart. I think the people who want to kill innocent people must be held accountable for their actions and I don't think we should stop until everyone of them is either captured or killed. Hopefully I didn't bore anybody by rambling on but I just felt I had to get this off my chest.
