On the morning of Septemeber 11, 2001, I was at work preparing for what was ahead of me that day as I sat in my cubicel checking e-mail and voice mail,listing to my radio on my desk as I do each morning while conversing with friends about the evening before. Then....I went from laughter to disbelief as sadness came over me. Silence fell through our building as we (co-workers) all listened to our local radio station disc jokeys announce that we THE UNITED STATES, AMERICA had just been attacked by what was believed but not confirmed at that time, terriorist. I looked around my building, co-workers in panic, co-workers in disbelief. I wanted and needed to be near a televison. I needed to see what was happing to our country. I needed to be at home with my family to pray and mourn together with them for all of New York, PA and Washington.
I still and will always think about and remember that day and the feelings that were felt and the silence... the silence that was not heard. I know that the tradgic events and memories of those who lost their lives September 11, 2001 will live with us forever.
My heart and prayers will ALWAYS be with all who lost their lives and to all who lost a family member(s) and friends.

GOD BLESS YOU
AND
GOD BLESS AMERICA
