I was at my office in Rosslyn, VA. We supported the Air Force, both in-town & at the Pentagon. I was talking to a friend via email, when I heard the commotion in the main lobby. That was when the first plane hit. I stepped out of my office to see the first tower go down on the news-cast. Then word came as to just which section of the Pentagon had been hit. One co-worker went hysterical as her father's office was in that section. Then as people tried to make sense of the insanity that was occurring, word was received - you're dismissed, go home. But for some of us, that became a 3 hour nightmare. Public transit was closed, and the 15 minute drive to me took my ex-husband an hour to go to me, and another 2 hours home. But the smoke, uncertainly and fear that gripped the Washington-DC metro I will never forget.
To honor & remember those who lost their lives to terrorism, and those who refused to be used, I will participate in a vigil ride from Patriot Harley-Davidson in Fairfax, VA to the Pentagon this evening.
Blessed Be.
