September 11th

This is a transcript from Bartcop Entertainment.  I sent this to Marty 5 years ago for her September 15th post.

I lived it all.  Reading it now it seems a bit corny but I felt every bit of it as I wrote it.  And stood within walking distance of my home, in a neighborhood I loved and saw the distruction.

I have since learned that more people died in the Pentagon from Prince William County, where I live now and grew up, about 30 miles south, than actually lived in Arlington County.  I don't think that is widely known. 

Here from Ground Zero - Site Two - Arlington, VA

I have heard the right wing fanatic pundits in their repulsive spew, I have seen the heroic fire, police and military people in their humane effort to protect, save, and comfort.

I live a mile from the Pentagon. The effort that has been made has been systematic, stoic and resolute. There is an American people who are tolerant, sympathetic, and pan-ethnic and pan-religious and tolerant of non-religious. This is the society we live with here in Arlington - we are a tolerant multi-ethnic urban society of military installations, ethnic restaurants and immigrants of all colors working hard along side American whites and blacks. We have Muslims dressed in tradition garb here a mile from the Pentagon.

That's what makes our country great. We get along pretty well here along Columbia Pike.
