jeez mike holy %@#& what an awful experience you had.
I lost two of my childhood friends in the South Tower and it bothers me to this day. They worked in Cantor and my only hope was that it was fast. ALL the rest of the folks whether in NY, Washington or PA are still in my thoughts as well.
The anger that this kind of experience inflames is checked by what George and Company said when asked why we were heading to Afghanistan AND then Iraq a couple of years later. To paraphrase he said "It will be a LONG haul".
