I woke up in my barracks room, clicked on the TV, and saw the results of the firts hit and thought "too bad." I went to take a shower and when I got out there was a hole in the second tower. I went to work, and stayed there for a couple of weeks. I was "volunteered" to stand guard at our radar compound with a shotgun and I ended up sleeping on a cot in our conference room for a couple of weeks. But I was honored to serve my country at such a time through it all.
