I showed up to work as like a normal work day. My co-workers turned on the radio, we listened to music, then all of a sudden it hit. When the word was out on what those *&^%$#@! did, I wanted to be home with my family. I was both scared, but most of all, mad!! Just to think of all those little children that lost their lives and to those who were waiting for their Mothers and Fathers to come home from work, but, they never will. I thought about my kids. I can't imagine their faces if they new I or their Mom's would not return to them. It was also running through my mind later that night to find out that the people (?) in the middle east were celebrating our loss.

All of a sudden now we are the bad guys. They say that we are killing innocent people. I want one person to tell me what crime all those people committed that were on those planes or in the World Trade Center. Being an American is no crime. It is an HONOR! And to all those people, friends and family of all the victims of the major crime that was committed against our Glorious country, our hearts cry out to all of you.
