3rd anniversary of 9/11 - Beyond Tiki

The ship had submitted a work request to upgrade the air conditioning systems in their Cargo Ammo Holds. When I got down to the first hold I noticed the ordinance hadn't been offloaded yet. As I walked between racks of bombs I begin to notice most of them had names written on them in chalk. Upon closer inspection the names on those bombs were those of passengers on the four airliners that went down on 9/11 complete with flight number and (in some cases) seat number. If I had forgot, that sure would've reminded me!
