I was in my office on the eleventh floor when I saw an email from my wife saying that a plane had just flown into the World Trade Center. We then heard of the second plane, then the Pentagon. When they said Pentagon, that's when I lost it. I said "they hit the Pentagon?" loud enough to hear down the hall. Someone told me to "calm down." At that point I was no longer calmable.
The first thing I did after that was to go on the US Army website to find out the maximum enlistment age. If I had been young enough, I would have been at the recruiters the next day.
It was the first time in my life that I understood how they felt on Dec. 7, 1941.
