I worked and live aboard MCAGCC Marine Corps base.I was housesitting for my friends who were away on vacation.I woke up early from a bad dream I wish I didn't have 'cause it turned out to be real death of our heroes firemen,NewYorks finest and all whose lives were taken by the terrorist..I cried when I saw the news specially when the second plane hit the Tower.I have roots in NewYork city,my family live in Queens RegoPark..
I was getting ready to go to work I felt I couldn't function ,I tried to call my family many times no answer.I called my boss between tears I'm running late couldn't drive ,a drive that will normally takes me five minutes.I was shaking but I have to go on to take care of my marines.When I came to worked we were all crying of what just happened to our country violated by the terrorist thousands of lives we lost...I picked up myself and stand strong ,We are one nation,We are AMERICANS ,we pulled our strenght and UNITED WE STAND...

SEMPER FI!!!!!!!!!!!!
