Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Before I begin, I'd like to express my heart felt sympathy to those who's lifes were taken, and the loved ones left behind. Also,to share my gratitude to those who gave of themselves to help any/all. I, too, shared the anguish of uncertainty of not knowing where a loved one was that day. My Uncle is a Locksmith, for the Pentagon.As my morning progressed I started doing my daily chores and with the radio & tv on I began to clean... I had DC101 on the radio and heard of a plane crash. At first, I couldn't fanthom the idea, they are alway's joking on the radio. I thought I better look at the tv.. I saw the replay of the first plane hitting the tower #1. I called my mother, who was at work, I began to tell her about it. As I spoke to her another plane hit tower #2, then another plain hit the pentagon. As I began to tell her of the news, she said ,"Oh, my God, Uncle John is at work" (the Pentagon), "call Aunt Murph (his wife)." I hung up and dialed Aunt Murph, her line was busy. Redialing several times, I finally got through and she was distraught over the fact that she could not reach anyone at the Pentagon. I wanted to go to her, she was alone and I thought she might go to look for him. I told her I'd be there in a flash. She said,"No, I'll be alright, I'll call you back." Pacing the floor, tears strolling down my face, in the horror of what just accurred and the fate of my Uncle, I called my Aunt again. Still no word from my Uncle John. Just about 3 hours passed and finally my phone rang, It was my Aunt Murph. She said, " I just spoke to John and he is alright, he had no way of contact till now, all the phones were busy, I just got to a pay phone in which there is a long line., He went on to say, that he'd try to get a ride home somehow, not knowing when he'd arrive. He arrived home around 7 p.m. that evening. My family and I were so grateful to have him home,and gracing us with his presence. I pray; God keep us safe and from harms way. Give us the strength to put the past behind us and lead us to a new tomorrow... Full of hope, love, and happiness.
