Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at home on the morning of September 11, 2001 when a friend telephoned me to ask if I had the television on the news channel. He said that a large, commercial plane had flown into one of New York's Twin Towers just a few minutes prior and that the building was smoking and parts of it were devastated with people trying to evacuate. I turned on the news to find what he said was true, but within that very minute, a second plane crashed into the second tower while I watched. The television commentators voices were unaccustomly filled with emotion as thousands of New Yorkers and others watching television looked in disbelief as the first of the Twin Towers began to crumble. I will never forget what I saw that day. I called my wife at work, and she and all the company staff were also watching what was happening...with all work stopped. Today is September 11, 2002, and a few hours have passed since the terrorist attack that has changed the way all Americans (and others) view the world and our security. Nothing will be the same, especially for the thousands of persons throughout the world who lost loved ones and friends in the most devastating Act of War on American soil. Security has dramatically heightened at all Government facilities, and some of my friends are now afraid to take jobs in downtown D.C. for fear of terrorist reprisals. Many are still leary of using airplanes for travel, but all have been affected by the evil in the hearts of those men and women who will stop at little to draw attention to their own agenda. No one will forget the bravery of the men and women of the NYPD and NYFD who answered the call to save thousands that day. The strength of America was tested that day and not found wanting. If nothing, it has made the nation stronger through a disaster which will be remembered forever in history, along with the brave men and women (alive and dead)who helped others to live.
