Gordon Summer’s 9/11 Memory

Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since that awful day. I was in the Pentagon, has just left that area before the plane hit where my friend, SGM Larry Strickland and I were chatting as he was to join my team 1 Nov. Unfortunately he was killed. I lost 6 friends that day. Funny thing was when I finally got home and my daughter, a HS Senior ran out to hug me in the yard, knocking me down (strong soccer player!). After burying her face in my chest for a moment, she reeled up saying “Wow, Papa, you stink!!!” LOLOL
