I was home alone working on my computer and watched it unfold on television, Fox News Channel, which was the only channel I found that had really live coverage. The other channels were showing the same blurry footage over and over. I saw some incredible live scenes on Fox, right down on the streets, both in NYC and at the Pentagon.

I have actually been uplifted by the show of resolve and patriotism among most Americans. I've always considered myself a patriotic person, having lived overseas and having spent all of my adult life in fighting the Cold War, until we won it. Since the Attack on America, I've been inspired to create a number of patriotic web pages and I have one that is sort of a memorial and web blog of September 11th.I hope that you may find it useful for your archive. It is "The Spirit of September 11th". You may read it here:

We should never forget the courage and bravery of those Americans who were willing to risk their lives for others they did not ever know. That showed our true spirit.

I have always flown the American flag when living in the U.S. Since September 11th I have been inspired to also fly an historical "Snake" flag, the one used on Navy ships which says "Don't Tread On Me". It reminds me stay brave for the future.
