I think it’s safe to say that most of us remember where we were that morning. I hope that we will never forget what happened on this day. Nothing I could write would be as poignant as these photos I found on the following link.

Tammy–
I know I will never forget…I was in college…dating an asshole who apparently was late for work which was a shock that he even worked in the first place because he was attached to his daddy’s wallet. (WOW! WHERE IN THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?) Anyway, I was in college and living in a shitty apartment with my then two year old when my ex-husband–an Army Captain–called me and told me to turn on my TV. I sat there and cried for hours and hours holding my daughter. I knew what it meant. As I knew in my heart–my destiny as an Army officer was set in motion at that very moment. I can’t forget even if I wanted to because I live it everyday. People call me a coward for not standing up for the “injustice” of this war–going on it’s seventh year. People say I am a brainwashed fool. People say that it takes more of a man to defy my Commander In Chief than it does to follow my orders. When people ask me about my time in Iraq they always always say, “I cannot even imagine…” and I say…”Good. Don’t, you’re not supposed to-that’s my job.” And I mean that with all my heart. That single, horrific moment in time has dictated my life as I know since then and it will for a long time. I’m okay with that. Why can’t other people be okay with that?
Tammy–thanks again for your site.
