911DA Story: Story

On that tragic day I listened to my truck radio in disbelief as the news broke.I did not comprehend it at first because of the magnitude of the event.Then I pulled in front of my customers house to do an inspection.They were not home,but that did not matter.As I got my inspection equipment together,I noticed the door to a home across the street opened,and went there to inquire about the breaking news.The elderly lady let me in and we both went into the living room where the TV was on and the news was blazing about two airplanes flying into the World Trade Center.Again,I watched in disbelief.After staying for a while as a "TV" guest,I excused myself and headed for home.
I continued listening as I drove home.That coupled with the TV news finally sunk in.The United States was under an attack and many lives were lost of hurt.
If anyone reads this,I am in full agreement with the president to go over and wipe Iraq off the face of the earth and hang Saadam by his toe nails.
