It is sort of starting to feel like any other day in early September. It shouldn’t. But, then I guess that December 7 seems like any other day between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
But I still remember. Many of us in this area knew someone who died that day. My strongest connect is with David Charlebois who was the Co-Pilot on AA77 that was crashed into the Pentagon. I knew his father from working at the hospital and long long ago from working with DOD. David’s funeral was picketed by Westboro Baptist Church and that was when Arlington County residents started showing up to disrupt those creatures and their distinctly un-church-like activities.
