Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was one of the lucky ones. I live in Colorado and was not directly impacted by the gut-wrenching attrocities of 9/11/01. I was watching the ABC morning TV show, Good Morning America. They mentioned that a plane had flown into the World Trade Center. Moments later, they showed footage of another plane hitting the second tower. I could not believe my eyes! I had just had minor heart surgery 4 days prior, on 9/7/01. Being on medication and feeling rather tired, I went to bed for a nap (my God how fortunate... a nap!) just in time to watch the horrible sight of the first tower coming down, then the second. I awoke my 23 year old son and told him that he had to see this... it was surrealistic and it was history. It wasn't until later that afternoon when I awoke that I began to realize the full impact of the day. I thought of the lives that were wasted, the damage that was done and the families that had been destroyed. Being a history buff, I immediately drew a parallel to Pearl Harbor... the terrible devastation of both days by sneak attacks. I felt sick inside for those poor people lost... and for their families and friends. To this day, I do not feel justice has been served. I do not believe we have punished the leaders of this terrible attack. I only hope and pray that, as we did in the 1940's after the Pearl Harbor attack, we decisively win this war on terrorism. The lives wasted and families destroyed on 9/11/01, at a minimum, deserve justice. God bless our country, our leaders, those lost and their families and loved ones.
