Well it started out like a normal day. My brother who is in the Airforce was getting ready for work. My husband was getting ready to take him to work and I was watching my nephew. My brother who was outside at the time looked over at our neighbors T.V. and I heard him say "Oh my gosh!" He then turned on the T.V. in the apartment and I heard both him and my husband say "Oh my gosh!" I came out of the room and saw the second plane hit the towers. Then they showed the Pentagon and my brother said "I have to go to work now!" While they were gone I watched both the towers fall with my 2 year old nephew.I remember thinking what about all those poor people still trapped inside. Then my nephew asked me what was going on. I explained to him what happened that some people took some planes and crashed them into the two towers and the Pentagon and hurt a lot of people and some kids too. He looked at me with sad eyes and asked me why would someone do that for? I told him the truth that I didn't know why someone would want to hurt innocent little children. When his Dad got sent overseas I remember him telling his Dad to "Kick their butts Daddy!"
