Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My story is not that awe inspiring or dramatic but I wanted to include it here. Living most of my life on the west coast and not knowing many people from New York or Washington, it didn't hit me for quite a while on that day. When I heard about the first tower being hit I had just gotten out of the shower and was shaving. It really didn't seem real at the time until I heard on the radio that the second tower was hit. I went out to watch it on TV and woke up my wife and son. While sitting there I started to feel like the morning that President Kennedy was shot. We first just heard reports but it wasn't until we saw more reports on TV and then finally from Parkland Hospital that it finally hit us that JFK was dead. The same with 09/11. The remainder of the day was a blur, trying to work and listen to reports and cathcing a few, occasional glimpses of the TV. Since many of the architects in our office travel as well as our client, we were nervous about those people who were out of town. It wasn't until later that we heard that all of our staff and those of our client were safe did we relax a little. It also made us feel much better to know that our client, Costco, loaded up trucks with food and water from their Sterling, Virginia warehouses and took it to the Pentagon to help those working there to fight the fires and search for survivors.
