I had the day off, listening to the news, I saw the burning first tower and while the newscaster was talking I witness the 2nd building get hit, I was in the military before, and I instantly knew it was no accident. Then news of planes hijacked, then Pentagon, then Pa. I wondered what else, the President ordered planes down, I went toJob Corp in Long Beach to get my daughter Jessie, because she was close to the shipyards, in case they were to be attacked, my husband came home, we tried hard not to worry about our daughter in the Navy in Japan, because we had to wait till she called, and it was days before she was able to.
