It is months since that dark day and being somewhat of a new york city person, even if I live in jersey it still hurts.
That day I was in the little post office in WANAQUE N.J. when we heard the report that a plane crashed into the world trade center. We were thinking of just an accident nothing more. Then a live report over the radio told of the second plane hitting the second tower, that's when we knew we were under attack.
One of my friends at the post office was in a panic cause his daughter worked there.I was in a panic cause my lady friend worked only 2 blocks away.
Thank god they both are well and fine.
I rushed home to throw in a tape on the vcr and my tape player with a radio.
That morning to hear that the towers came down ,to hear the attack in washington and the crash in pennsyvania left a feeling of utter sadness.
That night a friend was on call to go into the city to pick up nurses to bring them back to jersey and I went with him.
That sight was not the new york city that I knew.
Wew york city was wounded.
I was able that night also to talk on the phone to my lady friend.
She had to run from the first tower when it came down.
We cried for the victims and cried for our nation.
We have been to ground zero twice, the first time was about 2 weeks after the attack.To look at what happen on that morning up close made us sick.
There was 2 towers but you know seeing it in front of your eyes that you were looking at a mother ,a father, a son and daugther who died for no reason.
I wanted to fine someone alive, I want to bring hope to someone
I still feel that pain many months later..
Many say this is the second pearl harbor and I AGREE.but I was not born in 41 and pearl harbor we knew the enemy and we beat them, sometimes I wonder will we beat the hidden enemy we face now.
My prayers go to the innocene who pasted away on sept 11 and prayers go to making a peaceful world
