Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Someone came out and said the first plane had hit the wtc. we allwent to the bar area to watch the tv. I mentioned the fact that I hoped it wasn't a terrorist act and that it was horrible. We just watched in silence and then I saw the 2nd plane comming in. I guess we all saw at once because everyone there gave a collective "Oh my God!" Some started to cry, and other than that it was silent. What could you say. After that they started breakin in about the other 2 hijacked planes. I knew at that point, that our country had lost all of our innocence. We were no longer on the outside looking in, but living what we only saw on the news about other countries. Some of us went home early. I went and got my 2 boys out of school and we came home and watched. they are both teenagers and understood most of what was going on, but still had questions. Are we safe was one of them and at that moment I couldn't look at them and tell them yes. Not ever again could I say that to them. We do alot more family things together and stay home alot more than we did now. It saddens me to think that our lives are forever changed due to this event. I will however, not be afraid. Not now, not ever. I love my country and will do whatever I can to insure that my children have some sense of security in their lives growing up. I will fly. I will go to NYC. I will show compassion for my neighbors. I will stand strong. I WILL NOT LET THIS TERRORIST ACT BREAK MY SPIRIT! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL SHE STANDS FOR. NOW AND FOREVER! Lest we not forget ALL of the innocent victims, but honor their memory by showing what America is, and always will be.
