Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11, 2001 started much like all the previous days. My husband and I were working out in the yard. We had only moved into this house about 5 months previous. We are both retired, and came here from Ohio. We were very happy to be in Florida as permenant residents. At about 11 am on that horrible day, I went into the house for a drink of cold water. The phone rang, I answered. It was my brother, Bob, in Michigan. He immediately ask me if I had the TV on. I replied, "No, I was outside working." "Turn it on, now.....we are being attacked! Hijacked planes have hit the World Trade Center and Pentagon!!" I could not comprehend what he was saying!! I turned on the TV, switched to a news channel, and there it all was. It was true!! America had been attacked, again!! I remembered back, to 60 years ago. America was attacked at Pearl Harbor! I was young, but I recall sitting with my grandfather, listening to the radio, giving us the news. Then, as now, so many lives touched by tragedy, by some other country's hatred of us!! Why, are we so despised by these people? What have we done, for them to attack us in such a way? I still do not have the answers. The only reasons I can come up with is, our freedoms.... given by the Constitution and Declaration of Independence! None in my family were personally touched by all this. We did not lose any family members or friends......but, every American has been harmed in the respect of so much loss of life, and each has and is grieving still a year later. But, we as Americans, will stand tall, and not give up hope that America will crumble under any onslaught! God Bless, America.......and all Americans, wherever they may be!!!! For future generations.........do not EVER forget this day! Remember all the heros, living and dead that will always make AMERICA the LAND OF THE FREE.....AND THE HOME OF THE GREAT!!!!!!
