I remember that day so well
I was flying a jet back to Cincy when ATC started vectoring everyone to land.
It was my last leg, getting in very early, since I had been flying or on deck since 2230 the night before.
I stowed my gear and rode the crew bus to the parking lot, got in the car and drove back to the apartment I was renting at the time. My wife called, I answered
She said, "Thank God you're OK!"
I didn't have a clue why she said that and asked why did she say that
She said, "You don't know?"
Know what, I asked
She said, Just turn on the TV
I asked, what channel
She answered, "Just turn on the TV"
I watched it unfold
And I knew we were going to war...
