I was at work that morning when my husband called me and told me the tragic happenings. My office is near to Oceana Naval Air Base and the jets are continuously flying over head. However, that morning, after learning of the tragedy, I walked outside and there were no jets flying over and the air was just still. It was a very eerie feeling and you could just tell that sorrow, shock, disbelief and confusion had taken over the entire United States. As with the entire United States, that was the news being listened to that day, along with everyone with whom you worked. There were losses in the Twin Towers among some of my co-workers and stories of miracles among my co-workers.

I wish that day had never happened and I have re-lived it over and over again.

God Bless America!! Myrtle McKinney
