9-11 is a day I will never forget because it is my birthday. I was also on my honeymoon in Branson. My husband had had the clock radio set to wake us up to check out of the hotel. He heard the word "bomb" or "explosion" and turned the radio up as loud as it would go. He then turned the T.V. on. I picked up the phone to call my mother to see if she knew whether my sister and brother-in-law were okay. They are both in the Army. I also tried calling my friend in New York City. I did not get a hold of him until the next week. I was extremely worried about him because I had just gotten a letter from him saying he worked two blocks from the World Trade Center buildings. When he called, he said that he had seen the second plane crash and the towers fall. I was totally horrified at what had happened. I will never ever forget that day or where I was.
