Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On Septemeber 11, 2001, it was just another normal day for me. I was homeschooling my child , who at the time was 8 years old. I had gotten her started for the morning with her studies and went into by bedroom for my weekly, some times more often, phone visit with my sister. We were talking while I also had the television set turned to Channel 12 while watching Katie Couric, a favorite of mine. All of a sudden a news report came on and started showing the World Trade Center and a picture of an airplane crashing into it. IT was appx. 9am by my watch. I told my sister to turn it on Channel 12 and she said what is it. I said you are not going to believe it. We both just held the phone and cried while we saw and watched lives and our country being destroyed. To say I was in shock, does not even begin to describe it. My husband at the time was working at USAIWAYS and was stationed out of Charlotte, NC. I told my sister to let me go call him and I would call her back. I went straight to my daughter and told her what happened and said I cannot believe it and I was crying so hard. She said Mom what is wrong? She could not really grasp what had happened, so I said it is awful honey, it is awful. She went back to her studies and I proceeded to call my husband at work, who by that time, had already heard the news of course. But we were not sure then if any USAIRWAY planes were involved. OF course he was in shock also. I then hung up the phone and called my sister back. She was still just in total shock, so I think we stayed on the phone for hours just talking and looking and not believing what we were seeing. I have always been proud to be an American and that day in history made me even prouder. I mourn the loss of lives and the senseless cowardly way the terrorists took them. But, we will stand strong as always and we will not be defeated. I saw, GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS. BE WITH THE FAMILIES OF LOST LOVE ONES AND LET THEM KNOW WE LOVE THEM AND WE FEEL THEIR PAIN AND WE ARE ALL SO PROUD OF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM. THEY ARE ALL TRUE HEROES IN MY BOOK.
