I remember that day vividly. It was a Tuesday and was getting ready for jury duty. In the middle of preparing breakfast, I tuned the TV to CNBC and noticed they were talking about the towers. The show was nothing about the stock market. At first, I thought they were talking about a new movie release with impressive special effects...but then, 15 seconds into the coverage realized that this was real...My jaw dropped to the ground. I could not believe what my eyes were seeing. Of course, jury duty was canceled... I called family members and them my cousin who had just moved to NYC, working for an investment bank near the towers...no answer on the phone. Everyone was trying to get a hold of him. Still no answer (no emails, no cell, nothing). But thankfully, he called and said that he was OK...for some reason, he ended up planning to go to work later that day and on his way to the City, was detoured.

That day, I realized that two oceans were no longer enough to "shelter" America from those who wish it harm...The world had gotten smaller and more easily accessible.

Excellent picture and thank you for sharing your story:001_smile
 
In the forefront you see other important pieces of my experience. My class ring from West Point, the combat patch from 3d Infantry Division that I wear on my uniform to this day as a reservist, and an insignia of rank for a Major, my current grade.

Many people passed on that fateful day, and many more have done so in the aftermath of 9/11. Let us never forget!

Thank you for sharing. It's apparent that you put a lot of thought into that. I too am a 3ID vet with a deployment to Iraq. I was in high school on that day and in an interesting twist of fate I was in world history when the first plane hit. We didn't learn about ancient history that day, as there was modern history being made right before our eyes.

A heart felt thank you to all who have served so we can enjoy our liberty. On that day our way of life was challenged, but we as a nation stood strong to push back that challenge...at a great cost. Freedom is not free...if you think that statement is trite you have some soul searching to do my friend.

In a way, it seems insignificant in light of the weight of the day to post my SOTD but that is what the fight for liberty is all about...so we can go on living our lives with liberty.

The Söderén & it's Shapton Pro 30K edge courtesy of Tom @ jendeindustries is still going strong & insanely sharp.
The shave was once again outstanding.
