It was about 9:00 a.m. when my wife woke me up saying you need to try and get a hold of your sister and I was like why what?s wrong. My sister is a stewardess for American Airlines but anyway I was like why what?s wrong and my wife said there is highjackers highjacking planes right now and they have several planes. Well we just moved out in the country and we did not have TV yet so I turned on the radio to listen and of course it was all over the radio I ran to the phone to call my mom to see if she heard from my sister I knew she was in Boston already that morning from a flight the previous night and she said no I am trying to call the airlines right now. After hours of both of us calling my sister finally called from her cell phone and thank God she was alright. She was stranded in Boston for about 4 days and me and my wife went to friends to watch TV in horror all day long. We got there as the first tower fell and we all stood dumbfounded not believing this could ever happen. I served 3 years in our military and this made me wish I was still serving to get some kind of revenge. We kept the kids in another room while we watched it all unfold to out disbelief. I hope and pray that this day will never happen again. It bothers me that people think they are heroes killing innocent people. Anyone can kill anyone without them knowing those cowards and that is exactly what they are cowards. my school was cancelled that day just like everything else was cancelled that day. I still believe the world stood still that day not just America but the whole world. Thank god we have a president that is not afraid to go after the enemy and have justice be served on them from us and from god. We just have to stay strong and united and rally around our country.
Thanks Lowell
