911DA Story: Story

I remember Bryant Gumbel saying,"that a plane had hit the world trade center in one of the towers" I thought to myself. Oh God I hope it was a terrible accident and then, shortly thereafter the other plane hit. I cried for days for people I have never met. I still cry sometimes. I just pray and hope that those people didn't suffer. I could not imagine the devastation of so many families have,and are still grieving. Losing someone you love or gave life to. Its unimaginable that they would leave in such a way. we must remember each and everyone of them. Whether they (who died) knew it or not.
On that beautiful (it started out that way)
September day they paid the highest ultimate price for our
freedom. I honor and I thank them. My heart fills with sorrow for those who cherished them. And I pray that peace and glory will soon return to this wonderful nation. The sense of understanding and the ability to go forward. Thank you for your time in reading my story. God Bless Us All and keep us safe healthy and at peace. (Stacy J)
