I was at home cleaning the house and listening to my do wop on my brother's new stereo.
He came home and caught me. He didn't say anything about the President just yelled at me for playing my old records on his new stereo.
I asked him why he was home so early, and then he said, "It's no use working today, no one is in their office, the President has been shot"
I was shocked, and asked him if he meant the Pres. of his company, and he said, no the USA!
It was incomprehensible, no Presidents of the US were shot except Lincoln.
None that I knew of at the time..
9/11..I was in the kitchen when the phone rang, my daughter called and asked if I had tv on. She then told me she had heard a "small" plane had hit one of the WTCs...I turned on tv in time to see the second plane hit...I was giving her a blow by blow, because she was at work with no tv...about five minutes later my son called and asked if I had tv on, and I told him I was watching it.
Just about that time the first building imploded...I told him this, and he didn't believe me...He thought I didn't understand.
TV can be a blessing and a curse...horrible to witness people jumping to their deaths, and seeing the people who escaped...
That's why Bush is right...there is terrible evil in our land, and they do want to kill Americans. We HAVE to fight them...or be killed ourselves. |
