Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I remember that day as if it was only yesterday. It was a beautiful, sunny Tuesday Morning a day as I thought just another regular day - get up get ready for work, get my son ready for school ( that day for some reason he didn't want to get up so easily as he usually does), I brought him to school and off to work I went. Getting myself situated, turned on the computer, laughed with my fellow employees, got my coffee, turned on the radio and started to work and that was the calm before the storm shall I say. My fellow worker- listening to a New York Station - had said that a plane just hit the World Trade Center and I in disbelief said - it had to be a small plane - you can't miss those buildings and that's when my boss turned on the television to find out that another plane had hit the other tower - I just started to cry....How can that be - why would someone do such a tragic thing and injure and kill so many innocent people and then to find out the Pentagon was hit and a plane crashed in Pennsylvania - one that was headed for the White House - I was in shock. I did not lose anyone in those terrible attacks and I thank God for that - but I at that time was going through a personal crisis myself - I found out that night my father's cancer had spread and 2 days later in was in the hospital and never returned home again. I would go to the hospital and watch all the news with him everyday and hoped there would be more survivors and that everyone made it out ok -my father did the same- not knowing that a month later he would be there to join those who were lost on that tragic day in America - I can only hope he gets to shake all the hands of those heroes. September 11, 2001 - a day never to be forgotten! God Bless the USA!! Diane M.
