911DA Story: Story

As I woke early on Sept. 11, 2001, I heard the phone ring. It was my sister telling me to turn on my TV. When I did, I could not believe my eyes. I am 38 years old and have never seen such a site. My heart just broke. My husband is in the National Guard, and we know that he could be sent out at any time. We have talked of this, and we both feel that wherever our country needs him, then that is where he needs to be. We both support our country and our leader (President Bush). I have cried for all that have perished, those that are left behind to carry on and for the safety of my husband. For all of the people that have lost loved ones, I pray for you. I pray for peace in your hearts. I know that nothing can ever bring back what you have lost. But we as Americans have to pull together for all. God bless America. And in the now famous words..."Let's Roll".
