Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at home with my daughter on September 11, 2001. I was awake and still in bed when a friend from Atlanta called me and told me to turn on CNN asap. She said someone has just flown into one of the New York trade center buildings. I turned on the TV just in time to see the second plane fly into the south building. I watched in horror as the New Yorkers stood stunned in the street and begun to realize this was no accident and their city had turned into a war zone. My daughter watched with her wide innocent eyes and kept asking me, "mommie, it's just Hollywood, isn't it, it's not for real, right?" How do you explain such evil, premeditated terror to a seven year old? I explained to her that it was not Hollywood, that this horrible deed was, in fact, all too real. She was very upset and I kept her home from school that day. I knew no one personally in New York, but have friends that have relatives that were there that day. They have accounts of running for their lives, having to move from their homes, the darkness of that day, literally and figuratively, the brave emergency rescue people with hardly no one living to rescue. This day will be forever seared into my memory as the day one of the most heinous, evil acts was ever committed against everything American and what we stand for; freedom and going to great lengths to ensure that everyone has this freedom. One year later, I am left with the hope of our great country, the realization that we can survive anything and the fact that we will run from nothing.
