911DA Story: Story
I was in Aarhus, Jutland, Denmark when my brother called me on the September 11, 2001 and told me to turn on the CNN as they had the terrifying pictures of the attack on the WORLD TRADE CENTER in New York City, the PENTAGON in Virginia and the brave behaviour of/on the flight in Pennsylvania which unfortunately crashed.
I didn't BELIEVE him. But anyway I turned on the CNN. There I saw the attack on the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
I have since 1973 (with interrumption) been a member of the REBILD NATIONAL PARK SOCIETY, Inc. in Rebild, Denmark, who each year celebrates (since 1912) the INDEPENDENCE DAY of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on the 4th of July.
In 1973 I returned back to Columbus, Georgia, USA after 3 years in Viet Nam, where I experiencede the American Forces, the Viet Cong and the regular North Vietnamese Forces (and members of the Allied Forces who supported USA) in their war. I Have experienced the horror of war!
But on the 11th of September 2001 I saw the horror of war once more. What do they think about the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Do they think that the USA are a Country that doesn't give a dammn about other countries? Then I will give them an answer: The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (and DENMARK)are countries that are filled with compassion for all other countries!
I am a proud Dane, but I can't cope with the terrorist that attacked the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on the 11th of Septermber in this way.
I have to say that on the 11th of September 2001 I lost (LOST LOST LOST) a freind in the WORLD TRADE CDENTER. I have known him since the 1972 when I met him in Viet Nam. I do want to tell the terrorist: HOW CAN YOU EVER FULLFIL MY LOST?
My warmest regards to (nearly) all people on the Earth
