On that tradic day one year ago I was at home sleeping. My cousin called me and told me to put on the news. The second plane hit a few seconds later. I couldn't believe my eyes. My cousin was histarical. We are about 25 minutes from Somerset County where the hijacked plane went down. It was a reality check. Life is too short. We Americans feel that we are unstopable because we are the highest leading nation. And that day we were stopped. Thankfully I didn't know anyone that passed on that day. But my heart goes out to all of the families and victims. We will overcome this.
