That day as I watched the footage I looked at my son who had decided to join the Army. I feared this would lead us into war and he would become a part of it. My memories of Vietnam and the struggles of those soldiers who returned haunted me. Then we heard a plane had been turned back and was crossing out state. I had no idea how close to my town it would be so we went outside to watch the skies. We pulled out children close to us, mine being teens for once didn't want to stray from the safety of family to be with their friends. I was fortunate that day. I home schooled so my children were home with me, others rushed out to pick their children up, some couldn't as schools were locked down and they had to sit in fear knowing they couldn't get to their kids. Mostly, I am fortunate in that my son did end up in combat in this war on terror but came home to us.Loishttp://theecograndma.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-36923429322047845272015-09-11T13:48:26.799-04:002015-09-11T13:48:26.799-04:00I think deciding to jump instead of stay in the bu...I think deciding to jump instead of stay in the building would have been a horrible choice to make. I don't think I could have chosen 'jumping'. But that is just me. The image I will always associate with this day is a little red wagon. And I love to display a waving American flag. To me that symbolizes that even though they tried to bring us down, they didn't!!
