OK, I admit it. I don't always read Michelle Malkin, more often then not she's too "girly" for me and frankly she sounds alot like my wife, whom I DO listen to so why get the re-run from Michelle. Well, today I zipped by her blog and saw this:
It is the story of a man who lost his wife in the terrorist attack on the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001. As many of the Hamilton's Pamphlets readers know, I was assigned to the Pentagon on that fateful day and I have a great deal of sympathy for those affected by what happened. This story is heartbreaking.
From the story:
Kenneth Edelle Foster, 51, a retired Army sergeant whose wife lost her life at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, died Oct. 10 at his home in Arlington, Tex., of pulmonary fibrosis and congestive heart failure. He had lived in the Washington area since 1972 and moved back to North Texas, where he grew up, in 2003.
A civilian Army policy analyst, Mr. Foster was working in his office in the Hoffman Building in Alexandria on Sept. 11 when he got word that a plane had hit the Pentagon, where his wife, Sandra Nadine Hill, had worked for 25 years. He jumped into his truck and raced toward the billowing black cloud he could see in the distance, going the wrong way on Interstate 95.
"He could have got over his physical ailments, I believe," his mother said, "but he just didn't want to live. He died of a broken heart. We all know that."
From Michelle's post:
Says my reader: "Makes you feel enraged when Kerry says 9/11 didn't change him much at all."Exactly.
Read about it here (WaPo - registration required).
9/11 changed me, my wife, my family, my Navy, my President, my country. ANYBODY who doesn't get that does not deserve to be elected dog catcher, much less President of the United States.
