I don't know about you, but my blood boiled watching the 911 movie last night on ABC. Now I understand why former President Bill Clinton and his army of lawyers tried to get the network to pull the movie right up till show time. It's politically embarrassing how inept the top leadership appeared to be about taking out Bin Laden.

Having to remind myself of the network's claim, "it's not a documentary,"  it was hard  to view all the images of organized hate against the US, and not feel enough signals were out there to have made getting IBL our top priority.

The most common question asked today is where were you on that faithful day? I was on my way to a doctor's appointment with our oldest. My phone rang at 8:59a from Scott Yates program director at WFHG, saying something had gone wrong in NYC as a plane had flown into a the World Trade Center.   Within 20 minutes I received so many calls onto my cell I could retrieve them fast enough.

Racing home, I arrived 15 minutes before airtime, and as I fished for my house key, a man, pressuring washing a fence, asked me what was going on. I told him, "The nation is under attack." He ran, leaving the machine still running.

We all watched and feared that day.  Some of us lost friends and others lost families. The nation and our guard were forever changed.

Congressman John Mica was in the Pentagon and left the building only minutes before it was hit. Barbara Olson had called me only days before informing me she would be coming to Daytona Beach for a Town Hall. The message was still on my desk at WNDB, when her plane crashed into the Pentagon.

If today isn't the reminder for us to stay vigilant against those who wish to destroy us I don't know what is.
