I had just gone to bed for the morning, I was working the late shift at Hewlett Packard in the Network Admin Department. My friend from Toledo was scheduled to fly down that evening. We had planned a weekend camping and rapelling trip in the North GA mountains. Kirk called me from Toledo, he was packing to get on the plane. He told me to go watch the news.
I stumbled, half asleep, into the living room (18 hour shifts are not fun), and turned on the tv just in time to see plane # 2 fly into the 2nd tower. I woke up immediately in shock and disbelief. I called my boss at HP and told her that I was cancelling my vacation because I knew the airports would be shut down and all flights grounded. Kirk cancelled his vacation as well. I could not go back to sleep, so I stayed on the couch and watched all day long.
When my wife arrived home, we just sat on the couch and held each other until I had to go to work that night. She stayed up most of the night and called me every-so-often to make sure I was still around.
Now I have a son, and the thought of Islamic Terrorists running around in this world scares me. I am for backing GWB 100% in this war on terrorism.
