‎9-11. Where was I? Where were you?

I was stationed in Southern Florida at the United States Southern Command. I awoke and flipped on my TV. To my disbelieve, a plane was just flown into a building in New York City. Is this real, or is it some clever Hollywood movie? I went up and down all of the TV channels. They all were showing the same horrific event. I called my parents. I told them to turn on their TV. "To which channel?", they asked. "Any", I replied. I still have the newspaper I bought as I sped into work that day. My life changed that day. I know that I did and I am doing my part to protect the citizens of not just these great United States, but of this world. Where were you?
