Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I woke up early that day to get my daughter ready for preschool. I turned on the television right after the first plane hit the World Trade Center. They didn't even know if it was an accident or terrorist activity. I called my husband, who was in Florida on business, and my sister to alert them of what was going on. Both of them thought I was a little crazy that day. I then watched in horror as I saw the second plane hit a second building. It was live, and I just wanted to jump out and grab the plane to keep this from happening. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. I remember feeling so sad I could hardly breathe. I continued to get my daughter ready for preschool as I had decided that it was best for her not to see this tragedy unfold. My neighbor was watching a different station, and called me to say that the Pentagon had been hit. At that point, I lost all sense of security. If they can hit the Pentagon, then no one is safe. I cried for hours that day and for many days after that. The best thing that came out of this tragedy for me was that I began to help in the fight back. I joined a group to send "goodies" and letters to our military. They need our support in fighting this war against terrorism. May God bring us together and bless those that have lost loved ones as well as bless those that are fighting for our freedom and safety. May the United States of American stand united.
