Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was dispatching for the courier company I work for when drivers began typing me meassages over the computer that a plane had just struck the world trade center. It seemed like time came to a screeching halt as the messages concerning the second tower being struck then the Petagon kept flashing before me on the monitor. It became increasingly difficult to carry on a buisness as usual attitude with the couriers with news of this magnitude. Our run activity dropped off sharply in the next hour which gave me the chance to step out of the office. I ran back to our maintenance office which I knew had a t.v. and began watching the tradgedy unfold with tears in my eyes like so many Americans.I visited and actually stood on top of one of the towers during a visit to New York in 1991 with some friends so I could appreciate the vastness of the loss. Since 9/11 I've tried to become a better family man and have grown more dedicated to my faith in God. I pray for the families and the victims and hope that we never have to see such horror ever again in our lifetimes. It was unfortunately a wake up call for alot of us. God Bless America !!!!
