Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11, 2001, I was at work at Firstar Bank in Oak Harbor, Ohio. We live in a small community and most everyone knows everyone. When the first person walked in the door and told us that an airplane had flown into the World Trade Center, we were all shocked and ran to the break room to look at the t.v. We all took turns going back to see what was happening and we were all watching as the second plane flew into the Tower. To our horror we realized that it wasn't an accident that the first one had hit. Then the Pentagon was hit and reports came in of an airplane that was being tracked in Cleveland, OH. We thought we were at war. When the Towers both collapsed that day, we were all crying. I wanted nothing more than to get my children from school and take them home in case something more happened. I had no idea how I would ever explain to them that the only reason that it happened was because the people who did this don't think we should live the way we do. It is a wonderful thing to realize that your children truely do appreciate the country we live in and that many people, including some of their great uncles have served their country to insure those things for them. In my wildest dreams I never imagined my children seeing anything like this. I know that they will never forget, I will make sure that they hold in their hearts and memories the day that will forever change this country and the way we come to look at our freedoms and appreciate them.
