Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11, 2001 will go down in the history books as the day America was brought to her knees. That morning, I went to my job as a pediatric nurse worried about the usual mundane things and left that afternoon with my attitude towards life completely changed. When my office manager walked in around 9:30 AM, pale as a ghost, we had just heard the news that the first tower had been hit, but had no idea of the magnificent damage to come. Hearing about the Pentagon really hit home for me. The town I had just moved from was about 20 minutes away from it and most people I knew either worked there or somewhere near there, including my dad. I called my parent's house as soon as I could to find out if my mom knew anything, but all she could tell me was that he had been evacuated. The next few, dark hours were filled with more and more bad news and we finally had to turn off the radio because we could not listen to any more reports listing the number of casualties. After work, I called my mom again, and heard that my dad was alright, after traipsing through a large part of Washington, D.C. with some coworkers. I also found out that his best friend, (whose office was right next to the bombed section) was miraculously okay as well. Two men that preach at my church both had amazing escapes as well. One was blown across his office as the wall next to his chair was completely destroyed. He emerged without a scratch. The other was attending a conference that day and returned to find his office missing entirely. September 11, 2001 was a tragic day for our country, but it also brought us closer and caused a patriotic movement to sweep our beautiful, free country.
