I was at home and my husband called to ask me to turn on the television to CNN, he had heard something on the radio about a plane hitting the WTC. I turned on CNN and saw the tower burning. As I was watching the second plane flew into the other building. I called my husband and my mother to tell them what was going on. I was crying as I continued to watch. I was devastated when the buildings fell. Like so many others, I am sure, watching those majestic building collapse was one of the worst things I have ever seen in my life. My heart was heavy as I thought of all the citizens if different countries who would not be going home that day. I rejoiced for those who made it out.

Yes, I am more vigilant in watching my surroundings, I am more aware of how precious life is and I have the utmost respect for the men and women in our military who put their lives on the line in a time of war.

We should always remember those who died that day. We should also remember that the US is vulnerable to others who might wish our country harm.

Yes, my flag has flown 24/7 since it happened. I am proud of our flag.
