As we were leaving the airport I saw a forest of American flags at half mast with spotlights on them. It was very moving. I am so thankful that I could fly that evening and feel safe.

I vauely remember Pearl Harbor and the fall out but I really remember 9/11/09. At 7:15 AM I left my wife at the Richmond, Va. airport for a flight to SLC. When the news began to unfold as I was returning to our home all I heard at first was it was AA airline flights that had flowned into the buildings. I didn/t know my wife's flght number but I knew if was American Airlines and with the time she boarded her flight it could have reach any of the crash sites. Time really stood still for me during those few minutes until I discover it had not been my wifes flight. The next 3 or 4 hrs. was hell as I waited for news that my wife had been set down in Little Rock, Ark. and was o.k. for now. Remembering my feeling of Pear Harbor as a young child I phone all of our children that night and asked them to write of their feelings on that day, which they did and I have it in a little book for my grandchildren to read to help them understand the bits and pieces of this great tragdy that was absent as I struggle in the 40's when adults didn't have the time or information to help me understand what had happen Marvin Appreciated your comments.
