19 April 2007, Today is the anniversary of the Murrah Building Bombing in Oklahoma City, this happened twelve years ago. I was at basic training that day and learning about traffic control points. We had heard that morning that a federal building blew up, but nothing more. Most of us from Oklahoma figured a gas line eruption or something along that line. Who knew what we later learned could have occurred. However, another tragedy has happened that has everyone talking. My heart goes out for those students and their families. Lt R is from Virginia so he feels that connection much like I did in Oklahoma.
However, the media of course, is beating this horse as they do every other story they ever get. This is wrong, yes we want answers, but giving this the coverage 24 hours a day until you make people sick isn't the answer we want.
I was reading one of the scrolling messages at the bottom of the newscast and Speaker Pelosi, Sen. Kennedy, Sen. Kerry and other liberals are saying we can't win in Virginia and are demanding the National Guard be pulled out of the state. I'm not sure what they were thinking.
I did 2 1/2 miles after lunch with the 23 pound assault pack, then 4 1/2 miles after dinner this evening. I told the Sergeant Major I'd be calling in sick in the morning. He wants to do at least 6 miles everyday. I'll see if I can hang with him. Everything else went pretty good today. I slept good last night with the exception of waking up from 0100 to 0230. I'm going to take my shower in a little bit and get to bed.
You do know I was kidding about the Pelosi comment, right?
Be safe and have a great day.
I also forgot to mention HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BOTH OF MY SISTERS IN LAW, C.C. was yesterday and L.W. is today.
