Why am I here

Ok here is it. I am getting seconded guessed on my job. I know my job and I have been doing A/C Hydraulics since 1987. You think I might know a thing or too. So if the powers to be can do my job better than me then let them and send me Home to wife and kids. There I feel better.



Ok had to go to this briefing today. Spent 2 hours and nothing said that was new to me or most of the folks in the room. Well until the the slide cam up of 9/11. My mind went back to that day and to where I was and all the emotions call back. The anger,the saddens for my fellow Americans. Those brave Emergency workers. We all know where and what we were doing that day. I think about that about at least once a week. But today to hear the speaker talk about growing up and looking across the river and see the Twin Towers. He lost friends that day. We all lost something that day. I knew what that meant for us as a nation. I knew what it meant for me and my Family. You can say what you want about the war. You have your right to free speech. Guess why you have the right to free speech? It started with those first brave Men that met and signed a certain document. When they signed it they knew that they were signing their death warrant. But the did it not it for them but those to come. Yesterday I watched as they brought a young soldier in on a chopper. I saw they Medic working on him at a fever pitch. The Medical folks carried him off. They rounded the corner and I saw the young nurse's head slump down. Well I took that as a bad sign. There is another brave soul a Hero that will be going home the hard way. So I ask this .... You remember where you were on 9/11/01? I do and I know why I am here. Every little thing I do ,every plane that I help get off the ground. Maybe just maybe I will be apart of getting those Heroes beyond the wire home and that another 9/11 will never happen. Support the Troops !!!!!!!!!!!!
