Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: "No! Oh my God! Oh my God! We are going to war!" These were the first words spoken by me to my daughter, Holly, when she phoned and made me aware of the evil horror that was attacking our country. I began praying but mostly repeating ?please God help them out? over and over again. And as the rest of most of the world, I was in shock and disbelief that this was possible in our blessed USA. I spent most of the day emailing my family who were at work without TV keeping them up on the search for any survivors. I wanted to do something more to help but came up with nothing with being on the West Coast...so I made a simple big poster and placed it in my front window, "We are praying for our servicemen & women, the firemen and the policemen and thank thanking them for risking their lives to save us." Since then I have made it a point to go out of my way to shake the hand of a policeman or a firemen and pray for our armed forces and our President. Each and every time I hear a siren I stop and pray for their safety and wisdom. For 22 years, I have flown our USA flag in front of my home because I have always believed it was a sign of freedom and I still have that belief ...only it is stronger in my heart and has gone far beyond my personal world. I thought I had so many problems until 9/11 - then I realized I had none of any importance to compare. May God Bless America and May God Bless Our World.
