I was at work that fateful morning, listening to the radio as the events played out... the maintenance crew for Haliburton had a tv on and we watched the news as we could.. Most of us were veterans and it struck a nerve..
I experienced two suicide bombings in my early military carreer and it had affected my life.. to witness these events sent some moving memories within me spiral... I guess it was like reliving something I tried to bury deep inside...
I later learned that a Marine who survived the barracks bombing, in Beirut, died as a firefighter in the World Trade Center... may God Bless his and everyone elses soul...
I took some time yesterday and said a few prayers.. and reflected on the events of that fateful day... In some way.. we all lost something that day.. all of us... no matter where we come from...
“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.”
