I was sitting in front of my TV and saw every event as they were happening. I had a broken foot at the time which needless to say hurt, but that day, the pain seemed less for the pain in the peoples faces around the WTC, the Pentagon and the Jet that crashed were horrible. We will never forget that day, my family assembled at my home and we were speachless. Everything got worse at the minutes passed, then as the hours passed, to say opur hearts were breaking all day long is an understatement. GOD bless all who were lost that day, all that lost that day and all of us who feel the loss of that day. My Dad, who passed away on 10-11-01 seemed to be horrified by this event more than anyone in my family. He was a WW11 VET. and this tragedy hurt him deeply, he had seen enough loss in his lifetime, but they were loses for freedom of this country. This was a senseless, greedy and inhuman act upon our freedom. On this Anniversary of 9-11 and in future years on this date, I will pray for those lost and for my Dad, for the look in his eyes when this happened will never be forgotten.
