Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at work at Florida Department of Revenue. Even though I tried to work,most work stopped after a few minutes and I discussed the horror with my co-workers. I had friends and family in New York City and cried as the towers fell. In the following weeks,we had a prayer circle in the building parking lot where we prayed and sang songs. We had a yard sale to raise money for the American Red Cross at the Bonham Building(named for an employee killed in the line of duty). My daughter and I volunteered for the American Red Cross. We helped pass out candles at a service the American Red Cross held at Tom Brown Park. The church we attended at that time was packed the next Sunday(First Baptist Of Lloyd). An American flag has flown continuously in our yard since 9/11/2001. I remember my husband,Doug and my daughter,Melanie sitting in bed with me watching television that night. My daughter and I kept singing "I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free." Melanie has since said it was her generation's Pearl Harbor or Vietnam. I feel that growing up in Gettysburg,PA I've always valued my freedom and this attack reinforced that for me.
