911DA Story: Story

I remember I was at work - an auto dealership - when one of my co-workers ran in and told us "some idiot just flew his plane into the World Trade Center!". My face went white as I asked, "Terrorism?"

My co-worker told me not to worry - "probably just some guy who doesn't know how to fly his twin-engine". How I wish...

My boyfriend spent a year over in Iraq, and though he came home he has not been the same since. His brother heads over for his second tour tomorrow. My prayers are with all, every day - not just on 9/11.

Always remember.
