ON SEPT 11 I STARTED MY MORNING AS I ALWAYS DID WITH THE EARLY MORNING NEWS AND A CUP OF COFFEE,SOON MY LIFE WOULD BE CHANGED FOREVER.AS I SAT WATCHING THE NEWS I SAW A HORRIFIC PHOTO OF THE WTC WHERE A PLANE HAD HIT IT ....MY FIRST RESPONSE WAS THAT THERE HAD BEEN AN AWFUL PLANE CRASH WHILE I WAS STILL TRYING TO PROCESS WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED SOON AFTER I WITNESSED THE SECOND PLANE THAT CRASHED INTO THE SECOND WTC BUILDING.
IT SENT COLD CHILLS OVER ME WHEN I REALIZED AT THAT POINT IT WAS NO ACCIDENT,BUT INTENTENTIAL.
MY HEART WAS POUNDING SO FAST AND SO HARD THAT I COULDNT MOVE FOR A FEW MINUTES.I WAS SCARED AND ANGRY ALL AT THE SAME TIME TO THINK ANYONE COULD DO SUCH A HORRIABLE THING
IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY ....
MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LOST LOVE ONES ON THAT AWFUL DAY AND TO ALL THE FIREFITERS AND POLICEMEN THAT GAVE THIER LIFE TO SEARCH FOR ALL THOSE UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE THAT HAD TO LIVE THROUGH SUCH A DAY....MY FLAG WILL CONTINUE TO FLY AS A REMINDER OF ALL THAT WAS LOST ON THAT DAY....SO WHEN I AM HAVING A BAD DAY I JUST LOOK AT THE RED,WHITE AND BLUE FLAG AND IT REMINDS ME OF HOW FORTUNATE I AM TO STILL BE ALIVE....
GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.-----------------SHIRLEY BOGLE
