Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I went to work at 8:00 a.m. that morning. My husband called me at work around 9:00 a.m. and told me that a plane had hit the first tower. I just thought it was a horrific accident and felt saddened that lives were probably lost. My husband is self-employed, so after he called me, he left home to go to a job. I don't think an hour passed and he phoned me from his cell phone and told me that a plane had hit the Pentagon. I'll never forget his words, "We're under attack!" I remember freezing and feeling numb. I didn't really know what to do and being so far away, felt very helpless. After work, I went home and stayed glued to the t.v. in disbelief for several hours. Our children are older and when they came home from school, they had already heard about it so we discussed it as a family. My husband is a Marine Reservist who served in the Persian Gulf and things have been very stressful over the past year. They were told the weekend after September 11th, 2001, "It's not if, but when" in regards to activation. I spent most of today (9/11/2002), watching the t.v. and trying to remember and soak up as much information as I could. We went to church tonight as a family and remembered those who died so tragically. We are preparing as a family for my husband to go and defend this great nation. It saddens me today that people are so against America going, but I am proud and thankful that my husband and so many others are willing to give their lives so that we may continue to live free.
