Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Fisrt off..I am a native of Trenton New Jersey. I have been livning in Wisconsin since 2000. I was at work on that morning building an addtion on a house when the owner came out and said in a paniced voice " We're under attack"... I immediatly went in to watch what was happening...the first plane had just hit...I was in total disbelife of what I was seeing ... Then as I was watching...the second plane smashed into the other tower....I got physaclly ill... I had to leave right then and there to go and make a few phone calls to find out if my cousins were okay...they both live in New York... as it turned out...my one cousin Eric happens to be a detective in Long Island and was there before the second plane hit.... THEN I found out that his brother was in the first tower that morning for work... he had a meeting 6 blocks down from the 2 towers... he was in the middle of the meeting when all hell broke loose... had he waited another 20 minutes he would have been in the building when it was hit... I thank god, as does he...the only thing that he lost was his miny van...buried tho with 27 of his co-workers... I still don't understand why this happened ...I don't think any of us will... but I do know this...we can NEVER...NEVER forget ... I remember when I was a kid going up to visit them ...watching the towers rise up from the ground to their finally stage on the sky line...what a sight... now they...and 3,000 of our friends...are gone... leaves a BIG hole in ones life... I guess the one thing that we have that makes this country so great..is each other... Thank you for letting me share a little in-site from that day and what it did to me on a personal level... take care and god bless... Donald C. Rouze Trenton , N.J.
