I remember waking up that day to a phone call from a friend, telling us what was happening. My husband and I turned on the TV just in time to see the South Tower fall. I'm still speechless when I watch the replays. I visited New York City for the first time that October - had to see it for myself. I never got to see the twin towers in person, but I will never forget the sights, sounds and smells of Ground Zero. New York is a great city, and America is a great country! It's heartening to see us all come together, and I hope we continue to strive for peace and unity.
