911DA Story: Story

I was in my car on my way to work that morning. I was listening to the radio as I always do when there was a news break stating that one of the twin towers was hit by an airplane. This was very disturbing to me, because we have two buildings in our medical center that we call the twin towers. So as I continued to listen, I heard that this was the twin tower in New York. As I drove into the parking lot of my office, I heard that another plane crashed into the pentegon, then another into the other tower. The person on the news was saying that we were under attack.

Houston has a port and we are known for so much, all I could think of was who was going to be hit next. I came into my office were everyone was in a state of shock.

As the day went on, we watched everything on TV. There are just NO words to describe that day. My heart goes out to everyone that lost a loved one.

Today everyone in my office has on red, white and blue(which happens to be our companies colors). We have the TV on again, and like all other americans, our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone. We are all having a day of remembrence.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
