911DA Story: Story

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the survivors and we will always remember the heros and the families of both. We were visiting my husband's family and friends in his boyhood community of Y-City, AR. We walked into the truck stop for a cup of coffee and visit the locals currently there. Someone asked if we had heard about a plan hitting the World Trade Center and we said, "No". Where upon I said, "Please tell us this is an 'April Fools' joke in September." Unfortunately is wasn't. Soon after we returned to our RV trailer to watch the news on TV. It was looking seeing something out of a Hollywood Movie, But of course it wasn't.
