<p>I don't think I will see it because I don't want to relive those hours waiting to hear from my Pentagon husband on that day. I was at Andrews AFB in MD when the news came over the radio. I headed back to VA and even from the WW bridge, you could see the thick, black cloud just hanging over the Potomac. Luckily he and his staff got out before the side collapsed.</p>
<p>Motherdear,</p>
<p>That must have been so awful. You're so very fortunate and I know you count your blessings every day. I can certainly understand not wanting to see the movie considering your circumstances. </p>
<p>I lost 4 colleagues from work on 9/11 and had to track several hundred from our NYC office. I cried like a baby when I saw the movie last weekend. I'm actually hoping that all those people who have forgotten how they felt that day go to see the movie. I want them to be crying and angry all over again. And then they will need more reminders as time goes on. I thought it would be too soon for the movie, but I know now that it isn't. My daughter decided to pursue a career in the military because of 9/11. I thought I could at least watch the movie depicting part of the reason she chose this path.</p>

<p>Did he know CAPT Robert Dolan?</p>
<p>He was my XO aboard USS THOMAS S. GATES in 1995. I saw and spoke to him every day. He was a good, decent, family man who had the respect of his men. He was (at the time) the father of three children. I drove him home one night after we took our ship into the yards, and he was helpful and supportive of me when I decided to submit my resignation from the Navy. We spent many a time going over options and conflicts in my mind as I weighed the decision. I also remember him calling me a "Walking, talking note pad", which wasn't a compliment. It hurt then, but I smile about it now because he was right. </p>
<p>I respected and admired him deeply. </p>
<p>He didn't make it out. I hope he didn't suffer.</p>
<p>Rest easy, XO. You were one of the good ones. :(</p>
<p>Thanks Motherdear , MOT, and Zaph for your posts above.... Reminding us about those real life individuals that perished or just made it out that day... how painful those losses are for so many of us, and particularly so for their loved ones, friends and co-workers. Yet, no matter how painful, I pray we NEVER FORGET!</p>
<p>God rest the soul of Captain Robert Dolan and all the other innocent people that were murdered on Septemer 11, 2001.</p>
<p>(The recent sentencing of Moussaui [sp?] leads me to believe that some of us have forgotten...and now the French want to extradite him to France!!!!!)</p>
<p>It still brings a tremor to my throat every time I see footage.</p>
<p>Maybe we'll get lucky and some inmate will do to him what another did to that other waste of DNA, Jeffrey Dahmer. :mad:</p>
<p>Better than having him put quietly to sleep, anyway. Hope he squeals like a stuck pig.</p>
<p>At least Moussaui has a concrete bed and concrete pillow. I heard that the tv is a black/white that has only anger management stuff and religion. Hopefully, the islam isn't his kind and he has to hear it everyday. Even better if it was christian or jewish broadcasting.I also pray that his food isn't gourmet like at Guantanamo. He is also 60 ft under ground so no one will have to hear him again. Of course I would have wanted the death penalty though!</p>
<p>Too bad Dahmer isn't there still, he would enjoy eating him.</p>
<p>OM,</p>
<p>You are baaaad! I love it.</p>
