Thinking about the friends that I lost that day.

Laughing. Yes, laughing because when it was announced that the Pres was going to speak at the Pentagon this morning, it became apparent that no one was going to show up.

Orders were issued. Anybody that watched the 'Breaking News' on all of the fawning morning donut news saw how few people were there. Flag rank pretty much. People for who disobeying a direct order would have some retirement consequences.

It was a clear statement of the feelings of the Military and Intelligence communities of what has happened to this country in the last year. There was even a passing comment on ABC about how the prez was not invited to Ground Zero. That I would have liked to see.
