Remembering

I ran across a TV show on channel 45 right now, and learned it was Flight 93. So, I also remembered it is close to September 11th. I was remembering where I was that fateful day. It was something like 2 am in the morning and I think I was stuck on my first ship (the USS John S McCain) in Japan. One of my guys woke me up after the first plane hit the first tower and I remember watching the second plane hit the second tower. It was a scary time over there. We immediately posted a couple of different watches and I remember a tug going out into the harbor. Over the next couple of days, the Japanese Coast Guard and Navy (bless their hearts) were out in the harbor protecting us. The Kitty Hawk and several other ships left around a week later to head to the Gulf.

Anyway, I just wanted to get that down. I am praying for all of the people who lost their lives or had friends/family who lost theirs.

What do you remember about that day? Where were you?
