911DA Story: Story

I woke up around 8:50 am. September 11, 2001, to get my daughter ready for her kindergarten class in the afternoon...turned on the tv. with the volume all the way down...which was set on CNN from the night before...., I called my sister and said something was on cnn that looked like a movie....only to soon after witness the second plane hitting the second tower of the trade center....I turned up the volume and realized then, that this was not a movie...it was completely real...and could not believe in my heart of hearts that someone would actually cause such chaos, hurt innocent people and ultimately end up killing so many......I will never forget that day for the rest of my life.....I now have a fiancee' who's buddy was Tommy Foley of Rescue Co. 3 NYFD, who ended up dying that day...it effects my fiancee' greatly and myself to see families, friends and aquaintances hurting so much.....May God Almighty avenge these victims and their families...and I believe He will......
