I was on a construction site when the attack occurred. We listened to events on the radio. By lunchtime, the only people left on the site were my crews. It's probably the only day I can remember when there was no laughing, no cutting up, no practical jokes - just blank expressions on the faces of young men to whom the Gulf War was just a childhood memory. I recall a group of Mexican bricklayers coming up to me and one of them said "We sorry, Mr. Bob" and, feeling out of place and not being able to communicate their feelings, they went home. I guess, on this day, being a recent immigrant must have been pretty uncomfortable.
