Title: Remembering the victums of 9/11
Post by: MetrickMetal on September 11, 2012, 12:54:27 PM

I can clearly remember a coworker running into the machine shop where I worked on the morning of 9/11, and yelling that we were under attack by terrorists, and we all ran up to our test lab and watched on a TV in horror as the planes slammed into the World Trade Center, knowing full well that thousands of people had lost their lives, and its something that I will never forget.

I have my flag out and I am attending a 9/11 remembrance rally this afternoon, and I hope everyone takes at least take a few moments today to remember the 2,976 people who lost their lives on 9/11.  :(

I was thinking about that today as I heard over the news that another high level terrorist in Yemen got smacked with a missile from a drone.

I was sitting right where I am sitting now, at my desk at work. I got a call from a good friend of mine who lived in New York. He told me to turn my TV on. I did and sat watching in horror.

I also put my flag out.
I remember watching in horror on TV, like it was just last month.
The company I worked for at the time had scheduled 50% layoffs that day, including my wife at the time. Obviously they postponed that.

Wow, powerful.
Not sure how I feel about a beer company making the commercial, but the horses bowing is emotional.

Anything with beer in it is ok by me.  I've never seen that commercial.  Gave me goose bumps.  :thumbs:

That was their half-time Super Bowl commercial in 2002, right?
