9/11 2013 Never Forget

UPDATE 9/14: clarity, accuracy
Today I'm at the downtown Los Angeles Criminal Justice Center to see if the Joshua Woodward case will be transferred from Dept. 30 to a courtroom today.  I had heard a report that the case would be in Dept. 41 for prelim today, but the court's public information office tells me the case is still in Dept. 30 for pretrial possible prelim setting.

Woodward, a restaurateur who has in the past, opened locations in Miami, New York and Los Angeles is charged with four counts of attempted murder of his girlfriend's fetus.  Woodward was charged in October last year and is currently out on bond.

9-11-01 – I Remember

Another anniversary - I weep tonight as I do each year.

My husband worked in the second tower, 95th floor. I worked for Reuters International a few blocks away. My brother in law - a few blocks away for an international bank and my husband’s nephew and new bride had an apartment a few blocks away from there. We all shared the horror of 9-11.

In the Tri-States area, we have bazillion military facilities. Each day, each year, we have amazing activity around 9/11.

What I remember most is the falling of the towers and the absolute silence for the next few days. No aircraft, no singing birds…dead silence. Smoke…so much smoke from the smoldering remains of the towers.

Seeing video so untenable that it was etched in the psyche.

My friends were there…they saw the bodies jumping from the towers and a few are so damaged from what they witnessed, they have no hope of recovery.

It happens every anniversary- weeks of military air and sea craft build up. Weeks of knowing, thankfully, we keep watch.

Please, never forget what happened and please honor those brave folks and families that suffered so much for freedom and democracy!
