Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Living in Hawaii,we are 6 hours behind New York,so I was asleep...however not for long. At 4.00am I was awakened by the phone ringing beside my bed.It was my son in Wasington state telling me not to be alarmed,he and his family were just fine,but he wanted me to turn on the tv,something terrible had happened in New York city,he didn't know if we had been bombed or what,but something terrible was happening. When we turned on the tv,every station was telling the nation that an airliner had just crashed into one of the Twin Towers. I sat mesmerized and actually thinking if this was actually true,or a cruel joke. That thought lasted only a couple of seconds,because as I sat watching,I saw a plane go into the second tower,I gasped and then watched in horror as the towers came down. The emotions I felt were a mixture of disbelief,tremendous sorrow,anger,and fear. Was our country going to be in World War 3? All that day,I sat in front of my television,watching the events unfold. I prayed.I prayed for all the people in those towers,their loved ones,for the people in the airplanes,in the pentagon,and for this country of ours. Living in Hawaii,I had a tendancy to think of us as being far removed from "things" happining on the "mainland". Not anymore.There were people from Hawaii who lost their lives that day,in the Towers,and the airplanes.I didn't lose a loved one that day but I felt a loss just the same. Our country is the greatest nation in the world,and I love it,and I will continue to pray for God to protect us. America will never forget...we must not forget! God Bless this country.
