ReplyI was in Bitburg, Germany. Had just called my Mom. She asked if I was watching the news. I wasn't b/c my kids were just coming in from school. She said the tower had been hit. I turned on the news but all I could find was the Pentagon being hit. She didn't know that and thought I had a different show on, until it broke on her tv. Then the second plane hit the Tower.
Living in a foreign country, on an AF installation, was very difficult at this time. We were forbidden to leave the base. Locked down all the facilities and had to walk near 1/2 mile to get to/from any of the government buildings (to include commissary/BX). Men were shuttled to and from work by bus or had to be 4 to a car. Its hard to explain to young kids what is happening and why things have changed so much. -

ReplyI was at the Magic Kingdom when I received word from my son that he thought we had just had an earthquake. This then bought a text from my husband who was on the testing center at the time. Followed by frantic calls for my friend, Tracy, from her family in VA and NC.

Personally I believe these officers can become targets to be taken out first. Sure they may or may not get a few, but ithe long run if someone is going to do this sort of crime they usually know I advance what they are up against. You should allow the school personnel, who desire to, to carry concealed. If then a shooter comes in they will not know who is armed or when. The chances of a massacre of any nature would be greatly diminished. In my belief more people saved.
Kids have been raised with lack of respect for anything or anyone. The media glorify death and violance. The criminals make names for themselves and try to top the last guy. Disarming the common folk is not the battle. It's getting poeople to care for community and unite, working together and for each other again. We have to reach the children before its to late.
