Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I first heard what was happening while at work in a factory and I had went into the office for something. I seen the secretary in tears and my boss transfixed to the t.v. When I realized this was terrorism, my first thoughts were of the safety of my children since they were at school. And seeing the mass destruction of those huge buildings I just felt totally numb because I knew there was going to be a great loss of life involved in such destruction. When they told of a third plane coming through Pennsylvania, I got even more worried about my kids, what if they turned to Ohio? I didn't want to panic, so I just went in to get information as often as possible, and the secretary kept us informed also. With Wright Patterson being near it brought a lot of other fears about missiles and the fact that such a major base may also be targeted for a terrorist attack. My husband sometimes works on the base and I called to see where he was, but he was not there that day thank goodness. I couldn't wait to leave work that day and get my kids and get home to my husband, we spent the evening in shock over the total disregard for human life these terrorists had. Our hearts still ache for this loss of life, we are proud of the people who sacrificed to save others, and pray such a catastrophic event never happens again.
