911DA Story: Story

My husband just called me and told me that a plane just hit the world trade building. As we were talking the second plane hit, right then I knew, this was an act of war.

We have a TV at work and at once we put it on. The horrow was too much. I was in a state of "have to watch and hope, that all will get better. Then they collapsed. My heart sank. I cried, and I don't think I stopped for days. How can someone do this to us. The United States of America, land of the free.

I hate what happened to us I hate what they did to us, but I love the fact that we have survived and we are still one. We will always be one, no matter what happens to us.
God Bless America.

Mary Anne Turnipseed, proud to be an american.
