Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had been asleep (I work the night shift). My wife came into the bedroom and woke me. She said I needed to get up and see what was on TV. When I saw the devastation and recognized the Pentagon, I was absolutely enraged. I still have/had friends working in the Pentagon. I has spent eight years of my military service, walking the halls and corridors that were now laid to waste. My anger boiled. My feelings of contempt were boundless. Anyone so ignorant to think that attempting to destroy the very symbol of American military power would even somewhat subdue our ability, much less our resolve, to extract vengence and justice must be mentally defective. We now know, that in some ways they were. They follow the teachings, and rantings, of a mad man. This has happened in the past. When the US was least expecting it, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. When we tried to isolate ourselves from the madness on the European continent, the Nazi Regieme (led by a mad man) lossed it's terror on the innocent and the peacefull nations around it. History has repeated itself, even though some say different, or calmly claim that the actions of those few were not of the magnitude of Pearl Harbor, not of the magnitude of the Holocost. Still, today, one full year later, I am horrified and angered by the pictures of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon. Not terrified, but horrified. How can we, as a freedom loving nation; a nation of helpers and aid givers, allow this to happen. We must be prepared for the eventuallity that this was only the prelude to what may be much, much worse. We must take our stand, extend a protective arm and hand to the rest of the freedom loving people of the world, and halt this encroachment on peace.
