Keystone State Thread

With the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 approaching, I was interviewed recently by WVIA, or local PBS station about my experiences in the Pentagon that day. The video is on their FB page so I'm not sure if you'll be able to view it without a FB account - here is a link if you are interested. No politics involved - please keep it that way. Let me know if you can view it. I'll delete the post if you can't.

 

Thank you so very much for your service. I was 12 years old when this happened, I can still remember the shock and horror on my parents face when they sent us home early from school. We were watching the news in class when the second plan hit the WTC, it was hard to comprehend back then just as it is today. I'm thankful for every day I've had since and will always love this country.

 

Wow what a great interview and perspective, thanks Mark for ur service. I was able to view it without a FB account. Terrible what they did , let us not forget.

 

Your closing words hit me hard, we get so caught up in life we forget about living.

"... we don't know when that final day or that final minute will be and so don't waste it, don't waste time."

Thank you for your service and more Mark.

 

So what happened to Mobtown? Anyone know?

 

They sold their business a few weeks ago. There's a thread Joe started briefly explaining it.

It'a not the type of truck, it's what's done to it; I know of no other 5-lug RCs in my area that are lifted, have a Bull Bar on the front, have the distinctive wheel skins that I've got, have one on your Raptor-style grilles on the front, and have the amount of magnets I've got on the back...

My truck itself is nothing special to anybody but me, but I guarantee that you'll never find one exactly like it!

 

I feel the same way about my own.

 

Good morning fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians!!! Back into the stable today to put in a sink base/ sink and get the water running there again. Then I have two new light fixtures to install.

Be safe!

 

Morning Pennsylvania

 

Good morning PA TW

 

Love your interview mark and I’m glad I was able to meet you in person… thank you again for your service and keeping us in remembrance of what happened and how many innocent lives were lost and families torn apart. Enjoy your day mark

 

@Devious6 helped set off a private balloon ride Sunday…. Good time I had helping and watching how the process takes place

 

Cool, isn't it??!!

 

Yes very much so … it was out of the blue because I was mowing that field as they pulled in at the school…. Drinking/mowing and I was waved over …. Hopped off the tractor and started helping. If it wasent a private ride they would of asked me to go along…. Wind speed was higher at ground level that evening so it seemed to take some time to get where they were going… probably about an 1 hour or so until they attempted to land that night…

 

Wow. That stinks. I hope they get your power back on soon.

 

This humidity is disgusting; Practically the moment I turn on the A/C, it looks like someone is doing the deed in my truck...

 

Also, I did my good deed for the day; I was behind a green 2001-2003ish Ford Explorer Sport (The 2-door version; An Explorer with a 1st Gen Sport Trac front clip) on Street Road, and only his CHMSL was working when he hit the brakes. At the next red light, I got out of my truck and informed him that both of his rear brake lights were out; He didn't even realize it!



Also worth noting that he had earbuds in his ears while he was driving; He was very nice and thanked me for telling him, but he seriously did not seem like the most attentive motorist on the road...
