sept 11 was a day of mixed emotion ,when I heard the news I had just returned from my shift keeping the media & peopole in general from decsacrating where my friends had died at the hands of state & federal agents. they where tom coslen &rollie rhom ,we where getting dressed for rollies funeral& whatching the news when it came on . after a week of watching FBI agents in armoured personal carries & helocopters swarm my friends farm & 20 police cars ciricleing where we held a vigle.we where very scared who had did this . I did not think of foriegn terrosits. but of american militas .this tragedy that befell america eclipsed our own & america forgot the two men who had opened their farm to free speach & peacful disobebeance.& payed with their lives for trying too keep their farm from unjust forfiture .so this is a time of great sadness here in my villege.for our friends who where killed doing what they belived in & those whose loved ones died in the trade center .Had my friends not died I woulid have been in NY for a music award at the jammies two blocks from the trade center & that thought haunts me still .peace too all who seek it ,micheal twohats murray
