Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: As soon as the first plane struck the World Trade Center, we turned the television on at the office in the bosses office. I and each of my co-workers watched and waited to see what would happen. There were so many reports of other planes being hijacked that, living in our military community, we feared that we would be attacked. The unbelievable happened.... both towers hit, the Pentagon hit and another plane that crashes in PA and saves countless lives, only for the passengers to lose their own. After it is was believed that the terror of the moment was over, we all cried and prayed for those that lost their lives at the hands of the terrorists. The mood was solemn and we decided that it would be best to close the office down at lunch and we would all go to lunch together. We needed to be together, united. That evening many of us went home to our families and our churches for comfort. It was so unbelievable that anyone could do such a thing. On Friday my co-workers and I attended a memorial/prayer service at the church around the corner from the office. We needed to be close to God and seek comfort from him and provide comfort to others in this tragedy. It has now been a year but the memories of that day will never be forgotten. Now we face new terrors even while we continue to look for the people responsible for the tragedies of 9-11-01. Every day I wear a pin representing patriotism or one of several I have collected of the Twin Towers which I wear on the 11th of every month. I proudly hang the official poster of the firefighters raising the flag at Ground Zero in my office. I will never forget, my family will never forget, our country will never forget.
