So its been 10 years since the attack on US soil. I remember that morning being glued to the TV. The entire day seemed to be in slow motion, the entire world seemed to be in slow motion! I was in Searcy, Arkansas at Desiree's parents house. I was on medical leave since I just got my tonsils removed. I called the shop to make sure they didnt need me, but they knew I was drugged up and told me to stay there until my leave was up. All the bases upped their security. Bases that weren't fenced in, are now fenced in. And we dont leave the front door unlocked anymore, since we never know when the next attack will be.
Today we spent the entire day in the house. Watched a couple of hours about how the attacks happened and the old newscasts. I even shared with Dominique a newspaper form the day after the attacks.
She doesn't understand yet, but this will defiantly be talked about in her history class one day.
So its a sad day, but we need to remember this can happen again. Lets not keep our eyes closed any longer. Lets watch each other backs and get those dumb mother fuckers who don't deserve to breath the same air.
