Just wanted to add that my sister, who is a retired Lt. Commander in the NAVY was stationed at the NATO installation in Iceland during Desert Storm. She was in communications and said they had multiple threats each and every day she was there and we would be surprised how many were stopped. Maybe what we (meaning the average citizen) don't know did hurt us. Or maybe it had been building up for longer than we realize. Don't know. Another thing to remember is that all military personnel are basically trained killers. It is their job and for a LONG time they have NOT had to do their "job". I am not trying to lay blame, but am trying to get it all straight in MY head. Did any of you out there suffer a close loss? Our son's boss was on one of the planes that hit the WTC. And the TJX company (TJMAXX & Marshall's) lost 7 people. I used to work for Marshall's. I agree that we need to work as a team and stay united. God Bless America. Nancy
