On September 11, 2001, it was very common day like everyday routine. The TV was on, that moment I saw the second plane crash to World Trade Tower and turn to my daughter what is the name of the movie this is horrible..sometimes I like watch action movies but this is one is very weird...she said to me, "MOM it is not movie it was real" and she kept repeating (I am hard of hearing) I saw the TV again, I realized it was real. It shooked me so bad because I am ex-New Yorker.. I used to work that area where the WTC build over 40 years ago. I moved to Virginia in 1969 and saw WTC build, became beauitufl World Trade Center. Everytime I come to NYC and see the towers standing at night it is beauitufl. NOW, HORRIBLE to see its gone. I finally visited Ground Zero few weeks ago, I drove around and very sad face. And cried.
To rebuild the towers I don't agree they should build differently and put a big memorial park in a center with all names who have died there like Vietnam Memorial, Korean Memorial. WTC should remind us "we never again and we are freedom". I am very proud of everyone who puts up the flags of our freedom colors. I feel we are reborn.
Remember our grandparents came to AMERICA and saw the Statue of Liberty. Thats FREEDOM.
