Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: As my wife was bringing me to the railroad station for my commute into NYC, we learned of the attack. Immediately the entire region was being closed. All offices closed before the morning was over. After leaving our Long Island offices and collecting our children after school ended, we explained to our oldest daughter the reason that both of us were home. That day after getting home we contacted all of our family and friends who we knew that work near the World Trade Center. Although our family and friends were spared suffering any loss, we felt that a large piece of us was gone. No longer did we feel as safe as we did when we awoke on 9/11. That evening as my wife and I sat at the kitchen table we knew that we were being protected by the military as our attention was directed to the sky. There was a ban on all air traffic, but out of the silence flew directly over us a military helicopter. We felt relieved, but realized that our world had changed.
