I was at work on this day. I remember a customer coming in and saying that the World Trade Centers have been hit with a plane or a bomb. We quickly turned up the radio and began listening to the horror that was unfolding in New York City. All I could do was pray for all the families that knew of people in the Centers. I also prayed for all of us here because I wasn't sure what was going to happen next. My sister had passed away in July of that same year and it made me think that God took her because he didn't want her to experience this horrible terror. I thank God today for those brave people on the flight that went down in PA because of them, they saved many lives. Their families should be greatful that they had such caring and loving husbands, fathers, brothers, etc. I pray every day for the people that passed away and for their families. These attacks really brought people together and I feel that this country will be a better place if we stick together and don't take what we have for granted. We will all be greatful for what all the NYC Firefighers did and we will all be proud to say that we're AMERICAN!!!!!
