I was supposed to be up there for my rotation on the Terrorist trials and my replacement called me and told me our three people were okay as we had reports of 4 FPS officers were injured or involved but we didnt know who. I was standing there 25 days later working. It was just indescriable. Just like Oklahoma city only a 100 times larger. I have no words to describe these events. THe only thing that stands out in these events was the Flag and the effort given by all. I remember we had just started digging in OKC at 9 at night and I was in the bucket line and the guy at the top found a office flag with the tassels and we passed it down and the construction guys and FBI and some others pulled it up to the top of the crane and it just got so quite
and it started raining but the wind stretched her out and it was a sight. And People just stood and watched the flag blow. I have not mentioned that story much it has always been a little hard to tell. But it was the same in NY the same great people the same great Flag. So it is hard for me to remember one without the other.
