Where were you on that faithful day?

Some of us who are old enough remember where we were when JFK was killed.

When Martin Luther King was killed.

When Elvis died.

Where was I when 3,000 fellow Americans were killed?

Measuring to sell carpet to a red neck beerjoint. They had the TV's on and until I said something, they did not realize what was going on.

I left and went back to the office where we spent the rest of the day, asking "WHY"?

How in the name of God do you kill people?

Where were you, and your thoughts.

May God bless all those who perished, first responders and the families affected.

I had a friend who's in here (i think he's still here) from canada. i was getting me some coffee and he was sitting on the sofa and we sat and watched it in tears, together. i think it bonded us in a sad way. after that, all the airports planes were down and he couldn't get home (his wife wasn't too happy) he had to sleep in the airport to standby for a plane. i felt ill at what happened here and what we would think of the most about the one time we finally got to meet. it was surreal and sickening and so sad.
