I was at home in Miami, Arizona preparing to bury my father on that day. My father served in the Army attached to the 82nd Airborne. We had preplanned his funeral, all military. He was bury in his uniform and all the flowers were done in red, white and blue. As a memento to all in attendance, flag pins and flag keychains were given. As I siad this had been preplanned for a year, why this day that such a horrible thing to happen to so many. My prayers and thoughts are with you all and this will be a day that our nation will never forget.
