I woke up this morning remembering the day. It’s still fresh in my mind; watching it unfold on TV.
Almost all of this can be traced to the events of 1979, and the Iranian Hostage Crisis. I was shortly after floating around on a ship in the Indian Ocean, just waiting for the order. It never came, and we missed an opportunity to nip the tide of Islamic Terrorism from the start. We sure had a plan, just not the political will and foresight to carry it out. An opportunity squandered is an opportunity never to be had again.

I was driving through campus yesterday to pick up my son from pre school and saw frat pledges out sticking mini American flags in the ground around their respective houses. It struck me as interesting since (in all likelihood) some of them either hadn't been born, or had just been born, when the attack occurred. For many college freshmen, 9/11 is now a historical event.
