My sister was a flight attendant based out of Boston when that happened. She worked with, partied with, broke bread with everyone on flight 11. Her best friend worked that flight. He had called her the day before complaining that he didn't feel well and wondered if he should call out sick.

I go to the memorial often. It's a sacred place for me. A place where such profound evil gleefully snuffed out the lives of thousands, and and destroyed families and friends... and in this place we can honor them. Their names on the walls, their pictures are in the museums, their lives are honored.

My wife was standing outside her tower when the first plane hit. She was on the way to a dr. app't. I was in our apt about 500 feet from tower two when the second plane hit. My wife and two of her staff ran away from the dust cloud into a store until it passed. I was evacuated with my two dogs to New Jersey in a fire boat. A woman took my two dogs home as I was admitted to a hospital with dust in my eyes. There wasn't any communication as the towers had all the phone lines etc.We were moved to Long Island for the Company as my wife was VP of information there. We lived there for 1 yr and then returned to our apt. It was a terrible experience.

I support the best of the Republican Party first organized in Iowa 164 years ago to reform the corrupt Whigs.....the best of Lincoln, the best of Garfield, the best of Teddy Roosevelt, the best of Hoover and Dirksen and Weiker but not the mega criminals Reagun, Bush Crime Family, McCarthyites, red baiters, union busters, forced pregnancy law voters like Henry Hyde.... the Grand Oil Party evils are not out-weighed by the partial laudable histories
