9/11

I think everyone that will forever remember where they were when the airplanes hit the twin towers! Me, I was at work at the US Army Hospital with CNN on in the background, when we all heard the news. When the 2nd plane hit we all knew this just wasn't an accident. Then the most amazing thing happened. Every soldier in my clinic; enlisted, officer and even the retired were ready to fight to protect our country. I was a very proud American amongst all these brave soldiers. Tom went to pick up Kenna from school, we went home, and did what most Americans did....stared at the tv in disbelief. I still think of all the people who lost a love on 9/11 and all the families that have lost a family member who stood up and went to war for our country after 9/11. My biggest hero's are SSG William Louderback, MAJ Doug Gray & SFC Mark Dengate....soldiers that I worked with in the eye clinic, who went to Iraq so my family could live freely....I love you guys!! To Toby Olsen, I worked with his father COL James Olsen in the clinic and he died fighting for my freedom, you are a hero!!
