Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was sleeping when the attack occurred after working the night shift at the UPS hub in Addison IL. My best friend called and said, "Turn your TV on, we're at war." I remember my dad being so upset that he was mowing the yard all day. Yardwork is like therapy for him. My brother rethought his voluntary discharge from the military six months prior. He again went about the process of reenlisting. I remember being at UPS forever that night. Because all plane traffic was stopped, we had a mess of next day air packages. As the night wore on, we had to resort everything as the FAA was giving the go ahead for UPS to start flying again. So few people were at work and those of us who were, were stunned into silence from the day's events. I'll never forget that day as long as I live. I regret that our government while apparently knowing something, did nothing to help prevent the problem. I praise the thousands who took the initiative to voluntarily join our military and fight for this country. I feel we have failed them; Saddam has been caught, Osama still hasn't. We must never forget what happened that day and must never allow for our government to ignore warnings. In Germany, all children are required to visit a concentration camp before graduating from traditional schooling. They require this so no one will ever forget. Let's hope America does the same.
