On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, I was working on my computer in my office while my husband was watching T.V. All of a sudden my husband jumped up off the couch and told me a plane had hit the World Trade Center tower. I automatically said, "Your kidding!" I went into the livingroom and saw the horror unfolding in New York. Then as we were watching, the 2nd plane hit the other tower. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. We both sat in shock and cried. The fear and the shock on the faces of the people running away from the towers just broke my heart. I immediately started praying for all of the people in New York. When the Pentagon was hit I began to fear the entire U.S. was being attacked. Then we found out about the plane crashing in Pennsylvania...this really frightened me because my oldest son lives in PA. This utter horror seemed like it would never end! To this day I am still having a hard time believing that this cowardly atack happened. I pray often for all the people who lost their loved ones on that day. I thank God every day that my family is safe. I have watched all the coverage on T.V. today, September 11, 2002, and have cried anew for the pain so many people have gone through for the past year. I have total faith in President Bush and his administration and know they will continue making the right decisions for our country. I will continue to pray for all of the people who have suffered from this tragedy. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND HER PEOPLE!!! THERE IS NO GREATER COUNTRY THAN THE U.S.A. AND NO TERRORIST GROUP WILL TAKE AWAY OUR FREEDOM AND OUR LOVE FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!
