Bless the fallen. They are with their God. Prayers and appreciation to first responders all the way to the people who helped make the new tower to show the world that the USA is not a bunch of pansies. To hell with the cowards that perpetrated this action.
Quoted from ReadyPO:Not sure how I missed this thread yesterday. 9/11 was one of the reasons when I had a chance, I reentered the military and deployed to Afghanistan, and have stayed in the National Guard ever since (although retirement is getting closer). The Guard was pretty active that day with Air Guard units scrambling their fighters and tankers in a round the clock effort to keep the sky safe, and later in support of first responders at each of the sites and at various critical infrastructure sites across the county. It changed a lot of things about our military including how we fight and changing the National Guard from a mainly strategic reserve to a fully operational, deploying force that does everything the active component does (plus the homeland protection mission). Most Guardsmen wouldn't have it any other way.
"Freedom is not Free."

First, thank you for your service. Second, I only wish more of the young people in our country had a better grip on the idea that freedom is not free. They grew up, as I did, in peace time and have never known what real war is. This has its good points and bad!
