I was already retired a year, and was doing some work around the house that morning. The wife was still teaching and talking about retirement..Just about 9AM my fire pager went off with a general alarm. I hopped in my car and beat it up to the house (Fire rescue company) When I got there the LT filled us in on what happened Our Captain was NYPD and was in the city. I called the wife at work and she told me it was all over the news. Everyone was clustered around TV sets. At noon that day we got orders from the Chief to get ready to go into the City. We spent the next 2 days following FDNY around eastern Queens You know a couple years ago someone who was downtown that morning and had to run for it told me that she now understands what her Father and the rest of us Veteran went through I wonder
