Since that forever memorable day, I have witnessed America becoming more cautioned about security on every aspect of who and what and how anyone, or anything comes into the country. How it has become "OK" to wiretap homes, businesses,personal phones. How acceptable corruption has become. People have no faith in our government. Congress's polls are the lowest they've ever been. 9-11 has brought out the best and definitely the worst in our country.It has made security stronger, united the country in a patriotic way but it also has been used to take advantage off as well.

I remember this day just like I remember the day of JFK"S assassination . I liken this day as well as to Hawaii on December 7th 1941. This day was a wake up call, that America is vulnerable. My Father, Ernest Whaley served in World war ll.I have mixed emotions about what these events symbolize to us as a nation and what this country needed, and needs to do to be what it claims it is. I PRAY!
