Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband is from the Washington D.C. area. We were enroute to Baltimore , Maryland. We had left our homestate of Tennessee the night before and had not been on the road more then about 2 hrs when I decided to put the radio on. At first I thought that the station that we were listening to was doing a radio show . The first Twin tower had just been struck as were listening were in shock when the radio announcer said the another tower had been struck. We could not believe what we were hearing . In order for us to get where we were going we had to go through D.C. We could not believe that the Pentagon had been struck also. Both my husband and myself and our 13 yr old daughter took a moment to pray . We were so frightened.We began thinking that the United States was being attacked. Well it was.But not the way we thought.As we drove on it became apparent that travelers on the interstate were not going far. We saw a lot of people get off the interstate. The hwy was very quiet that day. When we arrived at our destination which is close to Baltimore airport we saw that the airport was very quiet. All along our trip we noted that the air was very quiet.Every gas station that we stopped in buzzed with news of the episodes that rocked our country and our very foundation . My husband and myself noted that people bonded together. Strangers to one another but has a fierce love of their country. I will never forget that day in history. As we entered Washington my husband and I could not believe how dead the streets were. Most everyone went home early that day.How we found that out is through my husbands family members. It was a very somber and sad day.We will never forget that day as long as we live.
