I was at work when we were told about the World Trade Center. It seemed like a cruel joke, but it was not. I called home and was told that it was true and then the Pentagon was hit. Our country was under attack and we could do nothing. What target would be next? I just wanted to be home with my Mom and dog. The World Trade Center hit me hard because I am from New York and for someone to come here to my state, my city, and do this was unbelievable. But this country has to stand up for herself and say that we will not be beaten. You may have taken us while we were not looking, but never think we will fall, remember Pearl Harbor. We will fight and defend America and all she stands for, we protect what is ours and will do it to the death. We will prevail and send our cowardly attackers running back to their caves and holes with their tales between their legs. But the main cowards will be served justice American style.
