I was in bed, after a long shift the night before at my job as a custodian at a church. My little brother 2 years younger than me who was 22 kept calling the house. I remember being annoyed athe phone ring and concidered taking it off the hook. But i answered on the 11th call and my brother who lives in the same area as me is yelling planes are crashing into the world trade center. I remember thinking about the B25 during WW2 that crashed into the empire state building and thought how could that happen again i turned on the TV just intime to see the second plane hit the other tower. I imediatlly called my mom who works for a california state agency in sacramento and asked her if she was coming home. She said they had sent everyone home. I hugged her so long and hard when she came home and we both cryied. God bless all those who lost some one in the tragity and god bless all the firefighters, police and rescure personnel who saved lifes that day with no regard for there own. God bless the hero's some who lived and some who died and smome whos fate isnt yet written. I just wanted to thank any one and everyone who gave there lives so that i could live in such a great country.
