First, I'd like to send my condolences to all the families that lost their loved ones on 9/11/01. We all must pray long and with great seriousness so we can bring these terrorist to justice. We must not be angry so our judgement won't be false. We must stay focused on catching all the terrorists that caused this senseless distruction, and the loss of thousands of innocent lives. May God have mercy on the souls of the terrorists, because no one else will. They will have to face God and if they think for one minute that what they did was Ok because it was in the name of God, they are sadly mistaken. Terrorists are murderers, and they must be punished for their crimes.
On that sad day of 9/11/01, I was at home and my bestfriend called me up speaking very fast and crying. I was able to understand which channel she said to put on. I just missed the first tower being hit. Then when I saw the second tower being hit and I was in shock. It was like watching a movie. But it was VERY REAL. Then I felt that this was intentional. Not sure by whom, but I was guessing terrorits. My bestfriend and I were crying for most of that day. We stayed on the phone for hours (we both have call-waiting)just watching the TV at the same time, and changing channels to see what the other networks were showing. I had just moved to Richmond, VA. August of 2001 and I lived only 6 minutes away from the Pentagon. Thank you God that I moved when I did. I used the route that passed in front of the Pentagon all the time. Soon after 9/11 I had to go to Alexandria, VA. and I passed in front of the Pentagon and I just cried and cried. It looked like a war zone. I just can't imagine what all those people went through, be it in the plane or in the Pentagon. America is strong, stable, and full of brave men and women. We will not back down to those or any other terrorists from any country on this Planet. God Bless America.
