Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I can remember the day so vividly-I was across the hall talking to one of my co-workers, and another co-worker stood and announced that a plane had just crashed into the World Trade Center! I couldn't believe it, but honestly didn't think much of it because the airports are in that area and we thought it was a fluke. I returned to my desk and minutes later my boss came over and told us that a second plane had hit! It was then that the radio announcers went crazy and everything became total chaos. We ran into the break room to watch the tv's and we stood dumbfounded and in tears! Army helicoptors were flying overhead and everyone was in shock. From then on- - - it just became worse, we lost a neighbor who was only 44, he worked for Cantor Fitzgerald, and he left behind a wife and 3 daughters!-each day I walk past his house I'm forced to remember that horrific day. We also have a good friend who's sister lost her husband and he was only 34, also leaving behind a wife and young children! In my line of work we were disconnecting circuits daily for service at the World Trade Center. For months I was depressed and upset, and cried easily. I can't believe that it has been a year because every day you are reminded, it actually feels like it happened just yesterday. My family came in from Michigan and we visited ground zero, I felt that I needed to see it to really feel the impact. Believe me, I will never forget! It is amazing how people came together-- through all of the saddness, everyone was there for each other! I keep a picture of the twin towers as they were and then next to it is a picture of the firemen raising the flag on top of the rubble. I am still very emotional-however, I know that we must go on. My heart goes out to each and every person who was impacted by this devastating attack. God Bless America!
