[Colonel]

I had just dropped my daughter off at school and on the way home I heard about the first plane on the radio. I got home and told my wife. We turned on the TV and a couple of minutes later the second tower was hit. I had planned on being home and working out of my home office that day so I was able to sit in front of the TV and watch it all day.

I've been listening to Howard Stern's rebroadcast of his show from that day. I wish all Americans would remember the raw emotion, fear, and anger from that day. I wish they would take the time to listen to the horror in the broadcasters voices as the towers fell. I wish they could hear the chaos of that day and the sirens of emergency vehicles rushing to the towers. I wish they would all say a prayer for the families of those brave men that went up the stairs to try and save people.
