Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at work when a customer came in and said, "A plane just crashed in the twin towers in New York." I thought it was an accident, but then another plane crashed into the other tower. A plane crashed into the pentagon. I thought that has to be a mistake. No one could crash a plane into the Pentagon. A plane crashed in Pennsylvania. I could not believe it. I was very afraid. My family and I live near a nuculear power plant. Will they crash there next? I thought. I went home for lunch and turned on the TV. That is when it became real to me. I saw the smoke and the dust the fire. All the people. I cried for all the pain and loss. I realized that all of the innocent victims were just like me. They awoke to an alarm clock. Got up. Exercised. Showered. Woke up the kids. Made breakfast. Packed lunches. Got the kids off to school. Went to work. But they never get to come home. Never get to eat a delicious meal. Never get butterfly kisses from their children. Never get passionate kisses from the lover. Never get to read a good book. Never get to watch a scary movie. Never get to go Christmas shopping. Never get to play a game with their family. Never get to go on vacation. Never get to watch football. Never get to sing to the radio. Never get to dance. Never get to cry. Never get to say Good Bye. They will never be able to do any of the things I have done this past year. I am no different or better then they are. It is so unfair. Such a tragic loss because of hatred and evil. I will pray for them and never forget their suffering. I will pray for their families and never for get their loss or pain. I will pray for Our Leaders and hope that they will never forget this sad sad day in September. I will pray for Americans that they will never forget the lives lost on this day one year ago. I will pray for our children that they never forget and may someday live in World Peace and feel secure and safe in their homes again. Someday.
