I was sitting at my desk working when my best friend came in to tell me that a plane had just flown into the World Trade Center. I couldn't believe it! I was in shock! I went upstairs to wath the TV that someone had hooked up in the concrete dispatch office. I just couldn't belive the horrible pictures I was seeing of the World Trade Center collapsing!! How awful!!! I couldn't help but think about all the people being killed or injured!! Not to mention how their friends and families were feeling. I remember crying all the way home and seeing the jet planes trails in a circle going back to KCI. It was the most terrifying day of my life! I never want to see anything like it again, but I fear it is not over. Look at what is happening in London now. We must remember our true heroes! Our firemen, police men and women, and rescue workers and our service men and women! God Bless you all!!!!!!! I can't sing the National Anthem all the way through any more because I am crying to hard to finish it and I can't look at a service man or woman withouth shaking their hand and crying and telling them how much I appreciate them sacrificing their lives for my freedom!
