Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I pulled into the parking lot at work and all I could do was look at the radio. I could not believe what I was hearing. The World Trade Center. Bombed. Impossible. I went inside and announced what I heard. I immediately ran and got my radio. Someone else got on the net. I was not dreaming, it was true. How could this be. I listened intently all day. True impact came when I got home and my son of 8 years and I sat and watched first one plane then the other hit the "Towers". This can't be happening. We live in a safe place where kids play freely, I work where I want and I feel safe. Suddenly that was all gone. I felt scared. For me, my husband and children. Especially for my brand new grandson of 18 days. What kind of world would he be growing up in? Suddenly I got really pissed. The United States would not let this go unchallenged. We would find who did this and punishment would be swift. Suddenly, I felt a little better. I live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. I have to believe and be brave. That night when I said my prayers, they had a whole new meaning. I wasn't saying prayers for family and friends. I knew that I had to ask God to watch over a whole country. To give comfort to those who knew their loved one were gone, to watch over those who sat in horrible silence await a call, to those little ones who no longer had someone, anyone to tuck them in. I had to make sure He knew that he had to make our armed forces strong and prepare for whatever layed in front of them. I had to be strong. As the days go on to this day, I pray for God be make me strong. I remember that I do live in the Land of the FREE and the Home of the BRAVE.
