    You can move this if you want.
    I don't go to west mall or anything so I put it here.

    On that morning I remember when it happened.
    I was servicing a route in a state office building.
    I had gone to the cafeteria to get some coffee before I left and there was a television on.
    Voices began to rise and I turned to see the first tower smoking.
    Everybody was stunned at how an airplane could make that mistake.
    Then the second airplane hit.
    A stunned silence.
    I watched for a minute and then turned to leave.
    As I walked out, I said to nobody in particular, "Somebody needs to get their *** kicked".

    By the time I pulled back into the warehouse that evening I had two American flags flying from the side view mirrors on my truck.
    Can't even remember where I got them.
    After getting home I watched everything on the news.
    Later that night I sat on my couch and cried like a baby.
    In fact there is a lump in my throat now as I write this.
    It was as if I had lost someone close to me.
    And I had.
    3000 Americans.
    It never entered my mind if they were republican or democrat.
    Nor what color their skin was.
    Or what religion they participated in, if any.

    Had I been a younger man and not a single parent with three kids I would have been first in line at the Army recruitment office the following day.
    Because "Somebody needed to get their *** kicked".
    I love my country.
    God bless America.

    You can take a minute to think about where it goes in the first place.
