I was working in the psyical plant at the prison, I was just released from my cell and was reporting to work as the first tower was hit. The TV screens where lit up, yet the sound was turned off. As I exited the block I looked up at the TV and shook my head thinking that another country was being bombed or some thing. Going through the safety checks points and finally ariving at work my boss told me what had happened and for the first time in my life I really felt scared wondering just what would happen to our country, the women and men, kids and familys involed.
How ould our President respond to it all. Could we rebuild after such a loss.
Looking back now after a year, there has been many changes in a lot of lives, as well as our country and how we come together as one nation under God.
I would like to once again thank every one involved with the rescue and clean up of 9-11-01.
May God's Blessings be with you and your familys, may Gods Blessings be with the familys that lost loved ones that day.
Thank You and God Bless!
PS I was released on 6-3-02, and by the grace of God life starts over for me and is a blessing every day.
