911DA Story: Story
Work had started like any other day. In the middle of morning appointments, a client came in and told us a plane had flown into the World Trade Center. I was saying, "Yeah right!", until he said to turn on a TV or radio. As we were listening, all I could of were my two boys in North East Middle School, North East, MD.
When we finally realized we also had a TV and turned it on, the second plane was flying into the other tower. Disbelief turned to shock and great sorrow.
I went home at lunch time and called my parents and my mother-in-law in Indiana just to let them know we were all right. My mother was so worried about us being closer to all the tragedy.
That night I felt great pride in my country when I went out to buy an American Flag, and everyone was sold out. All I could find were some small ones on a clearance table, but I knew they would do just fine.
As we have approached the year anniversary of the 9/11 tradedies, we as americans need to realize the price we pay for our Freedoms. To keep that Freedom alive we need to know that all Americans are created equal. We should not judge a person because of their race, color, or religion.
God Bless America to All Americans!!!!!
