I was working and someone came by and said a plane just flew into the World Trade Center. I was puzzled at first. I had decided to call my mom, who was at home, at the time of the attacks. All I could here was her TV, and my mom saying "Oh my God, another one just hit." I could not believe what my ears where hearing. Her and I started to dicuss the situation. Then it was confirmed a plane hit the Pentagon. My heart stopped. One of my closed and dear friends works there. I instantly started to cry. By this time I had told my mom I would see her in a bit. I hung up the my phone, and it rang right back. I was my daughters daycare center. Telling me to come and get her because the center was closing. I let my employer know that I would be spending the rest of this day with my daughter, and mother. I walked into the daycare center, and everyone was in shock. Teachers were crying because they had family members in NYC. After grabbing my daughter, and heading to my mothers home. I arrived too hear that a plane just went down in PA. ( the state that I am from)My mother and I sat there and cried about the whole situation and could not believe what we were seeing on TV. It was the scariest day in my life and I know that I will remeber it forever.

Yes my life has changed since September 11. I do not take anything for granted and I realize that anything can happen and anyone. I definitly look at patriotism in a higher light.

I think that everthing and everyone should be remember for Sept 11. All the heros in NYC, Washington and Pa. All the Firefighter, EMS, Doctors, Nurses, and hospital employees. All the individuals that were killed in this terrible event.The list to remeber everyone should never end... To many heros out there!

Yes that is the first thing I did after the attacks of Sept 11 was to fly my American Flag very high on my porch. My feelings about the flag have not really changed. I am just a little bit prouder to be an American Now!!!!
