I was at work, I am a Medical Assistant. I didn't here what was going on because our work day started at 9:00 am. Some of our patients came into the office and told us that three planes had been hijacked and one was crashed into the Pentagon and the other two into the World Trade Centers. As I stood there listing to the story, another plane had been crashed into Pennsylvania. As a medical professional I wanted to go and do whatever I could. I had a job to do for my patients and my boss. I called my mom, who lives in New Jersey and couldn't get through. I knew the phones lines had to be overloaded with calls with loveones missing and trying to find where they were. To the future generations, just remember that a tragedy had to bring America to its knees. We love our country but we had forgotten what freedom really meant. God Bless the families who lost someone and God Bless America.
