Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was a normal workday starting at 8:15am. After dropping my daughter off at her school I arrived at work and started the daily routine. A co-worker said she was told an airplane had flown into one of the World Trade Center Buildings. We went into our conference room to watch the news that was on to cover the event. We watched the tower burning and like a scene from a movie saw the second plane fly into the screen and hit the second tower. There was a feeling on unreality. Then a little later (we didn't look at the clock) the Pentagon was hit and then another plane crashed. There was fear, even though no one said anything, you could sense it in the air! What ws going to happen next? Would we, the South Florida area be a target? Was the entire Country at risk? I didn't know at the time the time but two people I knew were in that first building hit. One would survive ( a co-workers son) and the other who worked for Cantor-Fitzgerald died with his brother. He had twin daughters that my daughter had gone to school with in our christian school for six years. It made me realize how easily someone close to you can be taken. I am grateful that God spared my family the grief that the victims family have and continue to go through and I feel truly blessed for that. It made me Proud to be and American when I saw how we banded together like one huge family does when one of theirs is hurt or threatened form outside sources. We will get through this and become stronger because of this tragedy. I will NEVER forget that day or the ones that lost their lives!
