I woke up that morning and turned on the TV and i saw something that didnt make sense, a plane had hit the first tower of the world trade center. I stood there and i watched when the other plane hit the other tower, i screamed for my husband who was getting ready to go to work to come and see what was on tv, he watched with me and left to go to work, i would not see him till the next day, for he is in the military and they were put on lock-down after they declared it was a terrorist attack. That day i didnt stop crying it hurt so bad. Two days later my husband came home and told me that his unit is getting ready to deploy to Afganistan, he left one month from the anniversity of Sept 11th. We have been seprated before due to overseas assignments, but this was different.
Terrorists didnt just take thousands of lives but they actually took part of our freedoms. One of the freedoms they took from us is not to be afraid, but we are now more afraid then ever. I know i did not lose anyone at Sept 11 th but i and everyone in america had lost the chance to relax and not worry as much.
My husband came home safe after 6 months in Afganistan but was deployed again this yr 2003 and hopefully will be home soon and safe, The terrorists took away a member of my family to fight a war for our freedoms, but i am proud and so is my husband in the fact that he is fighting for our freedoms and our country and for those who lost their lives sept 11th, god bless them and thier families and please everyone who reads this support our militray or if you see a service member thank them, they are the reason why we are safe now and in the future.
