Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I remember the day as if it was yesterday. I was at my desk like I am any other day of the week. I was on the computer when I saw on line the news of the airplane going into the trade center, at first I was not sure what was going on and then heard all this talk of terriosts. I was so in shock I did not know what to feel or believe. I cried thinking of the lives that were lost so unnecessary. I could not talk to any one how I felt all these emotions going on inside my head. I wanted to scream but couldn't. I wanted to cry but it would not come out. I wanted to leave my desk but was not allowed. I wanted to go home and mourn and they would not leave me. I was all bottled up with terrible and frightening emotions. I just could not believe what was going on in my country. Our country, America home of the brave, land of the free. I wanted to go to the sight but knew I would not be of help because all I would do is cry. I wanted to help all the helpless people giving them comfort. But had a job that I had to stay at. It was so upsetting and yet I felt so helpless. I wished I could of done more but I just prayed. Watching it over and over and over again trying to let it sink in my head what was going on. Finally my work left us go at 3 pm. I came home and cried and watched it on TV for about l hours. I can't explained the feelings I had but Today watching, listening to it all over again made me cry. I am touched the way Americans pull together when we all need each other. It makes me proud to be an American. God Bless America. Sincerely, Darlene Taylor, Linfield Pa.
