I support our soldiers and sailors. They have chosen to put our country before their own lives. I believe most of them do so out of strong sense of duty and patriotism.

I was taking the day off from work and was in the kitchen making breakfast. I walked into the living room and saw my wife in tears with her mouth agape. I saw the second plane hit and thought she was watching a movie and then realized what was happening.
