Where were you 12 years ago today?

I was getting up and getting ready for work. I was 20years old with a one year old daughter ( birthday is 9/07/00) I watched the first building burning and then drove to work listening to the radio. I got to work on santa ana and started watching the office tv. I remember the second building being hit. I remember the people jumping out of the buildings. All I wanted to do was make sure that my family was safe. My dad works near LAX at northrop grumman and my mom works at boeing near long beach airport. I called them and they were getting moved into safer locations, just in case. The business closed its doors and we all went home. On my way home I stopped by a US Navy recruiting office and joined. I left for boot camp shortly afterwards and was on a ship working on F-18's and did so for 6 yrs. I will never forget the poor innocent people that lose their lives and the poor families. I would go and fight at a moments notice to protect this country and my family.

Woke up and flipped on the TV while getting ready to go to the gym. Only the first plane had hit at the time. At that point, it must have been some crazy accident of sorts. I jumped in my car and by the time I got to the gym, the second plane had hit. Didn't get much of a workout that day, just rode the bike in front of the TV until it was time to go to work. Watched TV at work all day in my office.
