Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I am a School Food Service Manager. I was sitting at my desk doing some paperwork. I didn't have the radio on a station that was a news station. I was listening to music, when one of my employee's came in my office and said turn the radio to the news station, because a plane just crashed into the World Trade Center. I turned on WINS news and heard the same thing. All day we listened while we worked, because the New York City children depend on us to feed them. It was torture for me to not see what had actually taken place. We had co-workers who had family members who worked down there, who they couldn't reach due to phone service being out. People wanted to just leave and be with their family, but they knew we had a job to do. We where told that we had to stay and feed and look after the children who may have parents who wouldn't copme home. I am a parent of one, but on that day I felt like I was a parent to any child who would be in that situation. It was one of the sadest days of my life. It was compaired to the passing of my father, even though I didn't know anyone who perished. I cried like a bay when I got home and saw the planes hit and the towers come down.
