Hi My name is Janelle I have been married for 3 great years to my loving husband who is also in the United States Marine Corps. I remember it like it was yesterday.
The night before my husband was leaving to go to Calf. to do cold weather training in the mountians. That night we packed him up and said our good-bye's. He stayed on base that night. I went home and went to bed about 11pm that night. That next morning my mom started yelling at me to get out of bed she kept saying "we are being hit" I did not understand her (she was packed for the the year 2000 in 1998) so I figured she was freaking out like normal. I got of bed and sat in front of the T.V. only the first plane had hit. My mom got in the shower and I was still watching T.V. all of a sudden the second plane hit. I knew then it was bad. My husband's plane had left that morning at 7:45am I had know idea what his plane number was. So I was freaking right along with my mom. Living on a base you would think we would know something. I got in my car and drove to one of my husbands fellow marines mother's house they had no idea what had evan happend. So we got in my car and went back to my house. Driving down the road on what seemed to be the perfect day weather wise could be so bad. When we got back to my house I could not do it any more I started to cry sitting by the phone hoping to hear my husband voice. I did not here his voice for a week they where in the air when it happend thay dropped their plane and went into marine mode. After these last three years every-one has gone back to normal being rude and not thankful for what God has gave us. All I have to say is Thank You God for giving us the men and women who risk their lifes for me to be able to write this or to put a flag in my yard. Every one that reads this should think about the people who give you the right to do what ever you want. Thanks, THANKFUL FOR MY MARINE Janelle
