Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I don't think I will ever forget what happened to our family on September 11th, I first heard when I woke up later then usual (I didn't go to school that day) and my mother told me that the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York had just been hit by two airplanes as if that wasn't bad enough, I was about to hear that we had been hit closer to home. The most devastating aspect of September 11th was when I heard that a plane had gone through the window of the Pentagon. I went numb I couldn't cry at the moment I couldn't take it all in. My Uncle sometimes goes to the Pentagon for meetings as he is an airforce doctor. My family has always said that my uncle Tim was born under a lucky star. September 11th drove this point closer to home then ever. Every year without fail my Uncle always met in the same room in the pentagon. However, because my Uncle felt that the group was getting stagnet he chose to move the group to a different location. All of his collegues protested that it was an inconvenience, eventually though they all agreed. All of us my family and my Uncle's family didn't realize the significance of his decision to change his meeting place that month. It turns out that the plane went through the window of the room where my uncle would have been at that exact moment had he not made his simple decision to change his meeting room. I realize that my family was one of the lucky ones we didn't lose anyone. I just wish everyone else had been as lucky as we were.
