Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I WAS AT WORK ON SEPTEMBER 11. AS I SAT DOWN AT MY SEAT PEOPLE STARTED COMING INTO THE OFFICE ASKING IF WE HEARD THE NEWS. THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY TURNED THE NEWS ON AND THAT IS WHEN I FIRST SAW THE IMAGES OF THAT TRAGIC DAY. I REMEMBER THAT AS I SAW THE IMAGES ON THE TV MY FIRST THOUGHTS WERE "OH MY GOD ALL THOSE PEOPLE". I REMEMBER THINKING THAT THIS WAS ALL HAPPENING RIGHT OVER THE BRIDGE. IF I WERE TO DRIVE DOWN THE STREET I WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE EVERYTHING. THE PRESIDENT DECIDED THAT IF WE ALL FELT SAFER WE COULD GO HOME. ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS BEING WITH MY FAMILY. AS I DROVE HOME ALL I COULD HEAR ON THE RADIO WERE THE STORIES. THE SECOND I GOT INTO MY HOUSE I TURNED ON THE TELEVISION. ALL I COULD DO WAS THINK ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND HOW TERRIBLE IT MUST FEEL IF YOU HAD A FAMILY MEMBER THERE. AS THE HOURS PASSED ALL I FELT WAS SORROW FOR THE TRAGIC SOULS THAT WERE LOST THAT MORNING. AS THE TOWERS FELL I JUST GOT SADDER. AS THE TOWERS FELL MY MOOD GOT WORSE. I NEVER FELT AS MUSCH ANGER TOWARDS A PERSON AS I FELT THAT DAY WHEN I HEARD THAT COWARD, OSAMA BIN LADEN, NAME ON THE BROADCAST. ONE MONSTER COULD TURN OUR WORLD UPSIDE DOWN. I COULDN'T EVEN COMPREHEND EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON. AS I SAT WATCHING TV I COULD HEAR THE JETS FLY OVER MY HOUSE. IF I WENT ONTO THE FRONT LAWN AND LOOKED UP I COULD SEE THEM FLYING BY. AS I CROSS THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE NOW I DON'T SEE IN THE DISTANT THE TOWERS. I NEVER NOTICED HOW SYMBOLICLY IMPORTANT THEY WERE UNTIL THEY WERE GONE. THAT DAY CHANGED THE LIVES OF ALL AMERICANS, OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS. SINCE 9-11 I CHERISH EVERY DAY THAT I COULD WALK ON THIS EARTH. SO MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE WERE LOST ON THAT DAY. I KNOW THAT FOR ME I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FORGET. THE IMAGES WILL FOREVER ME IMPRINTED IN MY MIND. MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LOST A FRIEND, FAMILY MEMBER, CO-WORKER ETC. MY WORLD WAS FOREVER CHANGED. I MIGHT NOT KNOW THE NAMES OF ALL THE PEOPLE LOST BUT I WILL REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED AND IN MY ON WAY I WILL REMEMBER THEM.
