My husband called me from work to tell me a plane flew into the World Trade Center. I turned the TV on just when the second one hit. At first I didn't understand the magnitude of it all until the plane went into the Pentagon. I remember calling my sister crying and at that point I realized our world had changed forever.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for being able to say that I'm an American. But some days I'm afraid to turn on the TV or radio because of what I'll see.

How can you not remember the way our country came together. I can honestly say that that was the first time I felt as if every American was mybrother and sister. I felt a comroderie with every person in our country and I believe we all felt that way. We need to remember that every day of our lives.

Right after the attacks happened, I went out and put my flag up and it has flown every day since and will continue to fly.
