Do you remember where you were when. . . . . .the attacks began? Twelve years ago today, I was at home on the Navy Seaplane Base here in Oak Harbor, WA. I was having a cup of coffee and sitting at my computer when my then-husband called from the hospital over on Naval Air Station across town where he worked. He told me to turn on the TV because a plane had just crashed into the Twin Towers. As we spoke, the second plane hit the second tower. We both knew then that this was no accident and were very afraid. He then told me that they were locking down the bases. He also told me to go and fill up the car with gas. He had been right about the bases being locked down. The place was a ghost town, with the exception of personnel with M-16s at every road and intersection. It was a very long and sad day, with all of us worried that our brave Prowler guys might have to shoot down an American aircraft to prevent more terrorist attacks.
