Almost half way through the day

Yup- Hearing my E7 running up the motorpool stairs yelling "Sir! Sir! Turn on the radio! They've flown planes into the World Trade Center!" is clear in my memory and something I frequently recall, especially with the impact it had on the country. Watching video of the smoke coming from the Pentagon as the Army peace to war switch flop over during the next few hours was surreal.

My family and I went to the reflection pools at the WTC this past June. It was the first time I had been back to Manhattan since New Year's Day in 1999, when I went to the old observation deck.

Very sobering...
