9/11 Where were you on that day and time?

How I love my country and the American Flag--


I am curious where and what everyone was doing the time the Twin Towers were leveled on that fateful day, September 11, 2001. I remember I woke up and a prompting told me to turn on the TV. I did to the Today Show. I saw the first building as it was already hit. And then shortly after tuning in I saw another plane fly directly into the massive building to the left of the first tower.

It was a horrible site, to see that there were live people in that plane and crashed, caught fire and you all know the rest of that scene/history. That day, was a day of infamy, much like President Franklin Delano Roosevelt said about Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. I was stunned,frozen and didn't know what to do or who to call.

I called Lori after I got my wits about me to see if she had heard after about half an hour passed. I just sat there glued to the TV screen in disbelief that anyone could plot such an evil deed. I just remember telling Lori about it considering with Hank in the military I was surprised she hadn't heard yet. Anyway the words came to my lips, and I said, "There was likely going to be War, and our lives would never be the same again." I didn't know how fulfilling those words would become and effect us and impact the way it has ever since.

The impact of this event also reminded me of when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated November 22, 1963. It was one of those days that one remembers where they were and what they were doing at the time the news hit the news. These kinds of things affect us, tragedy and all. It seems like a nightmare and it would end the moment I woke up. Sadly, it was not so, but for real.
