Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband and I are retired and were at home that morning. We had his mother down from Knoxville to visit for a few days. My husband had taken his morning walk and was in the shower. My mother-in-law was still asleep. I had awakened just before nine and reached over to turn on the television. "Good Morning America" was on. Charles Gibson and Diane Sawyer were telling about a plane crashing into one of the World Trade Center Towers and were uncertain as to whether it was an accident or was intentional. The towers were visible in the window behind them. I could see the smoke billowing from the gaping hole in the attacked tower. Behind them appeared another plane which flew into the second tower. I could not believe my eyes. Charlie and Diane were shocked as well. At that point I believe everyone who was watching the events had to know that these were no accidents and our country was under attack from some evil source. By this time my husband, Michael, had gotten out of the shower and I proceeded to tell him about the shocking events of the day. What other attacks could we expect that day. The announcement was not long in coming. The Pentagon had been attacked and another hijacked plane was in the air over Ohio and had turned back toward Pennsylvania. My husband told his mother, who had finally awakened and gotten up out of bed, of the events. Needless to say, we were glued in disbelief to the television the entire day. Our hearts went out to all those affected and all of the innocent people who lost their lives at the hands of those terrorists. At supper we said a prayer for our country, for all those affected by the attack, and for the terrorists who did this evil thing. Our country and its loyal citizens will recover in time. We will survive but with a broken wing because our freedoms and safety have been compromised. We will proceed with caution, always on guard. God bless America!
