About the time work sent me home from Newark, NJ. Literally screamed with rage in my car - could see the smoke and hear the sirens on the way out.

Picked up my kids from day-care. On the way home, drove past a National Guard armory and realized I was going to re-enlist.

Cleaned and loaded the HK while watching the news. Stayed monumentally pissed-off. The wife crying because she knew dozens of people at Marsh.

Right before bed saw an interview with Norman Schwarzkopf - he was red-faced furious and cursing. Made me feel slightly better. I would follow that guy anywhere (again).

Thank you for your service.

I'd like to think that if I didn't have my son, I'd have joined up as well.
