911DA Story: Story

I had just gotten to work and was told that a plane hit the first Tower and that America was under attack. I thought my co-workers were joking. Who could imagine The United States bing under attack in this day and age??

Shortly after that I turned on the television in my office and watched as the second Tower was attacked and The Pentagon. I was in complete shock.

I have no family that was directly affected, but several friends that lost family members and close friends. I felt so lost and saddened that this atrocity happened.

I can only offer my moral and emotional support to all of those who lost family and/or friends. I, however, am still spiritually saddened and hurt that this attack did happen.

America will recover and remember those lost with affection and awe at the heroism involved in saving as many as possible.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET, AND BETTER YET BECOME A STRONGER NATION BECAUSE OF IT.
