I was watching Good Morning America while eating breakfast when the show was interupted for a news report. ABC went directly to pictures of the twin towers in NY. One of the towers was already hit. The reporter wondered if it was an accident or terrisom. The second plane appeared & hit the second tower. My gut knew that was an act of terrisom. Terrisom normally happens that time of hour. I had to go on to work. When I saw friends along the way, they told me about the crumbling of the towers. Everyone was scared. Everyone wondered what would be hit next.
Little latter, the Pentigon News was heard. That is when I felt America was under attack. I felt a deep sorrow for all the people in the desister. The inosent people on the planes having their lives taken away like that. It was hard to continue working for the grief I personally felt.
Then, I heard the news of the Penn. plane going down & I felt relief that more lives weren't hit by a target. God watches over us & I prayed for the many & their families.
When I got home I watched the news on ABC the rest of the evening. They had reporters at the hospitals waiting to help the ones who survived. People donated alot of blood & not very many showed up. That's when I was scared they died.
The following day I felt no one knows when their last day is. So, I donated money to the Red Cross to use as they see fit. They were there on other desisters & I knew they would be there for this one.
We have morned for a year over this tragic loss. We have learned we are not as protected as we once thought. I have to admire Pre. Bush for his fight of the unknown terrorist because I realize, he is here, from our country to do the distruction.
I've also learned to be a kinder person to others from foreign lands. This is not their fault. I hope one day we can have Peace again, but, I'll always remember this day of September.
