I was locked down inside an airforce base credit union watching the building my younger brother worked in fall to the ground. This was before cell phones where omnipresent and I had no way to contact my wife, parents or brother. I eventually was contacted by my unit who had somehow gotten contacted by my mom to let me know he was okay.

I realized world war 3 was no longer a myth.

I gained insight of a culture I had next to zero knowledge of, prior to that day. Still learning more about it frequently, I don't need to know more. I won't forget the day, or the subhuman swine that conceived such a purely evil act.

Murderous cowards that randomly take lives, in the ridiculous belief that it's their obligation to _ _ _ _ _, I won't mention the name out of respect for those that practice their belief in peace.

Keep your eyes open and stay alert, American citizens, this isn't going away any time soon. 10,000 new arrivals are among us, mostly young men, they didn't come from Greenland, anyone see anything wrong with this picture?????

I believe today is my generations Pearl Harbor, i served in the first Gulf War and wanted desperatly to re-up after 9-11, my body and one I pray to had othre plans. This day marks a milestone in American history that may define the next century. The ENTIRE WORLD changed this day not just the United States so how does it effect me?????? anger, fear, pride, a sense of duty, a complete lack of undertanding how so few can create such termoil yet as many few can not seem to make changes for the better. I will end it there because I respect the rules of the forums and those who visit here NO MATTER WHERE THEY COME FROM we are all modelers here it's what we do.

we're modelers it's what we do

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade . I think we as a nation should remember those who lost and those who willingly gave their lives that day .Why ? We are American modelers , we practice our hobby in peace . Why ? because of all those we should remember .

  My oldest younger sibling is now in Hospice . The youngest never came home from Fallujah . They gave their all . I served and I still remember what My Dad told me ." We may be FROM Sicily and Austria , BUT , we are AMERICANS first  " . T.B.
