I was born and raised 45 minutes North of Manhattan, in a town in West Chester County. But I spent many years in Manhattan, enjoying all the culture, shopping, food, people, and events. I have family that works in Manhattan, they commute everyday, and on 9/11 I was in my car in Virginia Beach, Virginia with the radio blaring listening to 101.3, and the radio broadcaster said, 'Oh, my god. A plane flew into the Twin Towers.' And I thought how the heck could that happen. And I got a chill, and the guy on the radio kept repeating himself. Then he said, 'Oh, my god. Another one flew into the other tower.' I was confused. Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell os how. Yes, Well, I realized how in a moment a human breath can be taken away. I realized how important it is to tell your children and the people that are most important in life how much you care and how much you love them, and how much they mean to you. I would never want to take my last breath not knowing those dearest to my heart didn't know that. To me that may have been truly the saddest thing to me. I do believe in life everlasting, but to leave here not knowing those that meant the most to you, not knowing is the saddest thing of all. What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think that people should remember we are vulnerable, we are human and we are definitely strong, and we will survive. Did you fly an American flag after the events of September 11th? Have your feelings about the American flag changed as a result of September 11th? Yeah. It didn't change, it just magnified my beliefs, and my strength for this country and these people.
