911DA Story: Story

My boyfriend and I were in Kennebunkport, ME. We just began to shop for X-Mas gifts and souveniers when we heard a report of the attack on the Pentagon. Not hearing the entire report, we asked the salesperson what was going on?
Upon learning of the attacks, we scrambled for more information as to what airline was involved (my brother is a commercial pilot) and I was frantic to reach relatives that reside and work in that area of Manhattan. In my case, my family was okay.(there are many stories to tell)
However we grieved for the families that were not so fortunate, and we, like many fellow Americans were glued to the T.V. for the latest news. One year later, We are so very proud to be Americans, and are so very supportive of those who ensure that we are indeed "Home of the Brave".
