I will never be able to forget the day, time, place or reaction to this tragedy. I grew up with the stories of Pearl Harbour and Vietnam and could never imagine the impact it had on the lives back then, but now we do. I remember kneeling down and asking God how he could let this happen. Emotions going from confusion to sadness to such madness. I wanted revenge. I wanted to see us bomb every country that had anything to do with this and really thought that if it were me in the White House, there would have been no talks. Then President Bush appeared on the television. His emotions calm but you could tell he felt the same way. He handled and continues to handle this with such pride for our country that I believe we made the right choice. My son is still young and really does not understand too much of this but hopefully one day I will be able to share the stories with him and my grand-children about how the United States stood strong and united and made it through the most devestating tragedy that has ever been known to man.

GOD BLESS THE USA!
