I was a seventh grader then and sitting in a chorus class. On my way to the next, which was science. My teacher walked in and had tears streaming down her face. She told us what was happening and turned the t.v. on. I felt horror, sadness and fear as I was watching the second tower collapse. A few minutes later my mother picked us up from school and took us home. I remember asking her why would someone attack our great country? She had no answers.

Ten years has went by and I am proud to say that my husband is proudly serving in the Army and has deployed to fight terrorism. He joined after graduation because of this day that will forever be in our hearts.

God Bless America!

I immediately left work and called my son telling him to leave his college in Tampa and drive home. I had no idea if the attacks were going to target major cities and I, as everyone else, was so scared and felt so helpless. I picked my younger son up at his middle school and we watched in horror all the news footage all day long. My husband was unable to leave work and I remember not feeling whole until we were all together that evening.
I lived in NY for 1/2 my life but never felt it was an attack on NY but rather an attack on our nation. I’m proud to say that my same son that was in Tampa at college, went on to serve in the US Air Force during Operation Enduring Freedom.
Out a time of fear, mourning, and anger came a time of strength, unity, and patriotism. May God bless all those who lost their lives and watch over all that serve to keep us safe! God Bless America!
