911DA Story: Story

My name is Nora Reed. I work at Liberty Hospital as a Linen
Aide. My partner Mary Kay and I are the only ones to deliver
linens through out the hospital. It was a busy morning that day
I was up on the floors doing my morning delivery while Mary
Kay was filling carts. I passed a waiting room with a tv in it
when i saw a tv report saying something had happened. I went in
in and asked someone what was going on and they told me
a plane had flown into the world trade center. I was in
such shock. Who could be so mean to do such a thing to us?
Then shortly after that a second plane flew into the
second tower.I was so shocked but i was also angry and scared.
I din't know what was going on and i wondered if perhaps
it might happen to us. I went around that day and the days to
follow in shock and denial.One year later it is still hard
to believe that it happened. I mourned those people(even though
i didn't know them) because they were innocent people who
did not deserve to die. I still pray for those people families
as well for the rest of our country and our allies.I believe
that we should all pull together and stand tall against
the enemy instead of fighting amongst our selves.
I WILL NEVER FORGET SEPTEMBER 11TH FOR AS LONG AS I SHALL
LIVE.
