    So I am watching the 9/11 americans remember and just now have I noticed that out of the 2783 people that died. Most of them were between the age of 30-36. That just blows my mind. Also how many of them had newborn infants at home and how many had very young kids that grew up without a parent.

    My thoughts and Prayers are with everyone who was there on 9/11 and everyone who lost their life.

    Today I am proud to say I am an American.

    When the first jet hit the tower, a co-worker at my unit came running into my office to tell me about it. I thought he was pulling my leg and told him to get lost as I had reports to get done. Soon, I heard some female airmen screaming in the dining facility and I went to see what was going on. I will never forget the angst I felt when I saw them replay the jets hitting the towers and later hitting the Pentagon. So many innocent non-combatives were murdered that day and we will not forget.

    Now, the terrorists will never forget our resolve.
