Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at home logging on to the internet to get my email before getting ready for work. My daughter had just returned from spending six weeks in Alaska with a friend. I am an aol member, and there it was....the twin towers on fire. I could not believe my eyes! I turned the radio on and listened as the story of terror and horror unraveled. I went in and woke my daughter up and told her to come check this out..that the World Trade Center had been hit by two planes and were on fire. She couldn't believe it either. I think she just didn't want to believe it....denial. Who could do something of such paramount insanity? Surely there was a logical explanation or some horrible accident on the error of the pilots. It simply wasn't true...........it was an act of terrorism......in the USA!!?? In the heart of our country!!?? I wept, we wept, all of us........all of us Americans wept. The veil of denial had been removed from our eyes. For the first time in my life, I felt vulnerable, even here in West Sacramento. We, the Americans, the country of such great prowess, power, and dignity had been dealt a blow that will ring in the memories and hearts of we Americans for the rest of our lives. A moment in time where time stood still...where knees buckled, hearts broke, families torn. We wept. We wept long and hard. We are strong, though. We stood up; brushed ourselves off, put one foot in front of the other and marched on......marched harder, faster, stronger. WE ARE NOT ABOUT TO BE KEPT DOWN....!! We Americans are survivors... we push on for freedom, the right to choice in religious beliefs, the right to help others recover. May we never forget this day........September 11, 2001. That is the day when America stood up and said we shall overcome!!
