I took the Vette out after a short work day and what a nice day little humidity, nice breeze (rare for Forida) and the shine and look just came out. Must have been meant to be on a great day as it was 9/11 and I was not really thinking about it. Crazy as it will seem to all, I was on the JFK CV67 (Aircraft carrier in mayport Fl that dreadful day) and we were just getting underway on (9/11) at 9am when all the sh&t hit the fan. Remember it as if it was now. Today was just a nice day to enjoy the freedom of the day and the only American car like this that took me 29 yrs of service to own. I love it and America and the freedom we have to express ourselves and do what we please!!!
The military was undoubtedly shocked and dumbfounded on that eventful day. I was on the Aircraft Carrier USS Lexington CVT-14 when I was in the Navy back in the 70's. I know how we would have felt if something as horrific as the events on 9/11 happened "on our watch", so to speak. I feel for ya buddy. GO NAVY!
