I WAS AT WORK LISTENING TO THE NEWS. THEN I WENT TO SEE FOR
MYSELF. LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER THE SECOND PLANE HIT THE
SECOND TOWER. IT WAS THAT MOMENT I WILL NEVER FORGET. THE
EMOTIONAL UPROAR INSIDE OF ME. SADNESS THAT SOMEONE COULD
HATE AMERICA SO MUCH AS TO DESTROY INNOCENT LIVES. ANGER
THAT THE TERRORIST WERE SUCH COWARDS THAT THEY SUCKER PUNCHED, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I FELT PERSONALLY AS
IF ONE OF MY OWN FAMILY MEMBERS HAD BEEN PICKED ON. I CRIED
FOR THE VICTIMS, THEIR FAMILIES AND MYSELF I FELT PERSONALLY ATTACKED. A TORNADO OF EMOTIONS WHIRLED AROUND
INSIDE OF ME. I WAS THEN CALLED AND PUT ON ALERT FOR THE AMERICAN RED CROSS. I AM A NURSE. I WAS WILLING, READY AND ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". I PRAYED FOR ALL INVOLVED. ASKED FOR GUIDANCE.
ASKED GOD NOT TO HARDEN MY HEART, BUT GIVE ME UNDERSTANDING.
I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.

MY LIFE HAS CHANGED IN THE WAY THAT I CHARISH THE MOMENTS
AND MY PRIORITIES HAVE CHANGED. SAY " I LOVE YOU". TAKE A MOMENT LONGER IN THAT HUG. LIVE FOR TODAY. TRY NOT TO
LET THE LITTLE ANNOYANCES OF THE DAY GET TO ME. CAUSE THESE
LITTLE ANNOYANCES WON'T MEAN A THING A YEAR FROM NOW.

THE THE U.S.A. PULLED TOGETHER AS "ONE NATION UNDER GOD".
I FELT AS IF THE NATION OF PEOPLE BECAME ONE.

OH, YES. I CONTINUE TO FLY IT ON A DAILY BASES
