I can still remeber that day like it was yesterday. I was going to a local college in a small town called Ottumwa in Iowa and I like I did everyday was in the lib on the computer chatting with friends from other states. I had planed to go see one of my friends in Ny but decide to wait into the following week. It was nearly lunch time and the man I was talking to said he had to leave because something was going on in the pentagon and he had a loved one that worked there and he was worried about her. I didn't know at the time what was going on, I thought that maybe there was a shake down or something. I didn't see what was really going on until I meet my at time boyfriend in the living areia were everyone had stopped what they were doing and was watching one of the many tvs in the areia. I stood there dumbfounded on how anyone could kill so many people... I started worring about my aunt that was a air line studest, and after finding out she was fine i pretyed for all those killed and preyed they find the one's who did it...and I pray even know for those killed and the hurt that it caused everyone...

Blessed be to those killed and for those who risked they lifes to protect us even know, may they always be watched over and protected
