911DA Story: Story
I was at a Chervon in Cross Lanes WV and was filling my tank, it was 8:48 I think. This man in a panic ran over to me and told me one of the World Trade Centers had been hit by a plane. I knew it was attack because of the work that I do. Any pilot would have ditched the plane or tired to land it and certainly would not have hit the on object in its way head on.
I tried to explain to the gentleman that we were under attack and to go home to his loved ones. He was I suppose upset and unable to understand and he didn't know me. I preceeded to work to my Government building as I do every other day, this day was a day I am sure they needed us. We were released from work at approx. 13:00. I went home to my local town Hurrican, WV and headed to the largest pub or traven around and calmed people to down all day the best of my ablity.
Public service is its on reward.............. We have much to lose in America and freedom is never free.
God bless you every one.
