I was homeschooling my children and received a phone call to turn the television on. We spent that day watching one of the saddest days in history unfold before our eyes. That was a History lesson neither my children or I will ever forget!
I was working for the Department of Defense working on airplanes that were used to respond to this cowardly attack.
I think those planes did a good job too. I think leadership did a good job. Seven years with zero more attacks.
A special thanks to all the members of the fire departments, law enforcement, as well as other agencies across the nation that stands ready to stand between you and harm. And a very special thanks to all the branches of the military that make it possible for you to enjoy the freedoms you enjoy. Never forget.

Watson Hall, A former residence hall on th Gordon College campus just off Spencer Street, will be used for training by the Barnesville-Lamar County Department each Monday in September starting this evening.
The training will take place between 5:00pm and 8:00pm and will involve various scenarios including "smoke" as well as numerous fire and rescue trucks.
The building, which is no longer used, stands on the site of the future Nursing and Allied Health Center and could be demolished as soon as this fall.

Dear Gordon College,
Don't be alarmed by drills at Watson Hall
Watson Hall on the Gordon College campus is slated for demolition soon. In the interim, it will be used by firefighters for training.
Citizens should not be alarmed by staged emergency responses to the building on Monday nights in September between 5 and 8 pm. Multiple emergency vehicles and smoke generating devices will be used.
Thank you,

I was in LA on business, very grateful I forced a colleague from Boston to change his plans & arrive in LA Monday night instead of Tuesday morning. He had been booked on flight 11 which ended up in the Twin Towers.
My husband, 2 kids and I were on a plane flying to Asheville NC for a one day visit. Noticed the flight attendants made "the coming in to Asheville" announcement but when we got off the plane, the airport was deadly quiet. We wondered what was going on, then wandered over to a bar where the television brought us up to speed. Now what? We decided to grab our rental car, go ahead and tour the city and make a decision later on. By 5pm, it was obvious that we had to find an alternate route home. Called Enterprise and told them we'd be driving the rental car to Atlanta. When we finally got home that night, my young daughter went to pieces, crying. This January, she joined the Navy. She is very proud to be an American, and wants to serve her country.

I was heading to work. Once the 2nd plane hit, I went home made plans to take care of my family and defend my country for worst case scenario.
