I was getting ready for work and listening/watching "The Today Show" as I walked around the house getting ready for the another day. When the regular programming was interrupted of the World Trade Center being hit by a plane. It was hard to keep myself away from the T.V. but I realized I had to get to work due to the urgency and the possibility of other attacks to the U.S. At the time I worked for one of the security firms that provides security for one of our major National Laboratories.

Once I got to work it was amazing how everybody in security was working together. Other people were hugging and consoling each other. Roads where closed to the public, more man power (security personnel) were brought in. This was something I had never seen in the 18+ years I have been working here. Life has become more real for me since the attacks. Living in the part of the states where we are lucky enough not to see to much violence on a daily basis. I saw how we united as one and I hope this UNITY will last forever and not be just a phase we go thru.

The UNITY OF OUR NATION

Yes, I did fly the American Flag.

I have always showed great pride of the American Flag but only now I can't take it down, only to replace the old one with a new one.
