It's all very funny and humorous to you all, a decade or so later.
That day, when more than 100 of my friends and colleagues vaporized without so much as a goodbye, or anything other than a desperate cell phone call to plea for help, or to resign themselves to death in the most horrible of ways, it wasn't so funny.
As the buildings collapsed, and the fighter planes flew sorties over Manhattan like never before, I was never so glad in all my life for the good things which my government does.
Call it corny, call it a blind love driven by fear, or simply call it a time of unbridled patriotism, until you have lived it, second my second, moment by moment, one life to one life, you get NO say it how it should be, neither then nor today.
Have your laugh, and your chuckle. Me? I am not embarrassed by the tears, even 12 years later, which flow for my friends who perished that day. And for the resilience which MY country demonstrated in a most horrible moment.
I don't like to see this day made light of either. For a time, we were ONE country. Together. For a short time.
