I live and work in Perham, Minnesota. When the 1st plane hit I was driving to work. I was at my desk when one of my coworkers said that the WTC had been hit. We all figured it was an accident. Then we heard the second plane had attacked. We work in the internet support services, our link to the world stopped. I couldn't believe that this had caused our problem, which it didn't, but it addded to the confusion of the day. We didn't know if there had been more attacks closer to home, that were debilitating all the country's infrastructure or what. We spent the rest of the morning watching news reports on television.
Later that day we needed to add some equipment at a remote location owned by Qwest. While we were in there we were asked to leave. So while we weren't in the midst of the terror attacks, the shocks were felt all across the great land of ours and today on the anniversary of this tragic event, our hearts are with our entire country!

Not much, I think about the tradgedy and mourn for the people who still suffer, but our whole family goes on. I would say our American spirit is stronger than ever.

That our way of life was attacked and we endured!

Yes and it flies at half mast today on the Anniversary. My feelings have not changed. The American flag represnts all that is good about the USA. By flying our flags we tell the world we bent but we did not break. You have angered a sleeping giant. We will be resolute in our desire to punish the guilty and show American Freedom and ideals are worth fighting for.
