I was getting ready to start ameeting and someone walked in and said the trade center towers in New York were on fire. We turned on the TV in the room and sure enought it was all over the news. It was pure shock and disbelief in the entire room as everyone just stared and no one said a word. It was total disbelief and we all realized once the Pentagon was hit that this was something that would affect every American living this day and for every day thereafter in the future.

I value my family and friends more now than ever. I don't worry about work that can't get done in 8 hours. It can wait now until the next day. Work is no longer a priority for me, family is number one and always will be.

It started out as just another great day; and turned into a day that would live forever in our hearts, a sad day for everyone in the world.

We flew our flag on every holiday, but now we have a permanent flag pole in our front yard.
