911DA Story: Story

I remember waking up that morning and turning on my computer just like I did every day. As I started to scan the news, the main headline read "America under attack". I sort of blew it off figuring that somebody was always attacking us in the media.

After checking my e-mail, I (still ignorant of unfolding events), I turned on my TV just in time to see the first tower collapse. I believe my first words were "this is just amazing".

Then, I got mad. It didn't scare me, it just made me mad. To think that those people had the unmidigated gaul to come over and attack MY COUNTRY.

It still makes me mad, but I have to say I am more and more proud of this country and the people of it.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
