I was at home on Sept.11th. I will never forget that day as long as I live. When I turned on the T.V. and I heard the news anchors saying we were being attacked, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I kept thinking how could anyone get into our airspace without the military knowing it and then they started to report that planes had been hijacked and terrorist were on board using the planes like missles. I never thought that I would live to see the day that America would be under attack. I contacted family members to make sure that everyone was safe, and thank God that they were. I went outside and started to put out more flags then I already had up. I remember thinking how quiet it was outside, there were no cars or children playing. A strange feeling came over me that I never felt before. I went back inside and kept praying to God to help us and protect all of us. I started to cry thinking about all of the innocent people who lost their lives;because some terrorist can't stand the way that we live free in America.I pray to God that I never see another day like Sept.11th. God Bless America always.
