I was not offended, and for me 9/11 lasted for a long time. Not as long as it did for New Yorkers and those whose relatives had died, but for a good while.
We were on base in lock down. For weeks. We could not leave the base and even when we were able to, we had to be searched and go through bomb check every time we returned. It just hammered it home: No Longer Safe.
All in all I would rather do something nice for somebody on this day - as I have done this morning - then spend it wallowing in hate. So on with the poll.
