At home watching the news as it happened. Where were you?
I was living in LA when it happen.
Wow!
I was coming home the day after a Air National Guard drill in SC to building my home in Alabama when I got the news just east of Atlanta. Being a AntiTerrorist Force Protection [ATFP} instructor, I knew we were at war and rather that return home, I returned to my home base with one dirty uniform, knowing USAF-SF would be first-in, last out and my life and any future plans were on hold. My first assignment was training US Army Mechanized Infantry [Bradly] how to fight "military operations, urban terrain [MOUT] and Air Base Ground Defense [ABGD]. I was one of the first Air National Guardsmen to report for duty before the formal recall.
I did not return to Alabama for 2 years to complete building my home. I retired 2004 on my 60th birthday.
Love the Alan Jackson song, and this one too.
God bless the USA
