God bless the U.S., God bless the service men, God bless the 5,000 that lost their lives in the World Trade Center, God bless those that died in the airplanes that crashed.
This is like JFK, we will always remember what we were doing that day on September 11th, 2001.
I was pregnant with my son. I was getting ready for work when I turned on the t.v. and saw the news. Every single channel was on the World Trade Center, even the cable channels. My husband is a roofer and was working on a house two blocks away from my home. He came home on break to see the news. I already had the t.v on, when he was there, we saw both towers fall. I cried.
Then we saw another plane crash into the Pentagon. Then we were heartbroken to see another plane crash in Pennsylvania. I live in Pa, and that really hit home. It’s such a shame that everyone died on those planes but I am so proud of how brave people were on board United 93. They may have died but they weren’t going to go down without a fight! They fought the terrorist! From what I read and heard, that plane was destined for the Capitol building or the White house. From what I learned on wikilopedia, their battle cry against the terroist was “Let’s Roll!” I thanks Azmom for telling me about the movie United 93 as I learned so much more.
Remember how all flights were cancelled and seeing a plane in the sky scared you? I remember seeing a plane September 12 and I knew it was a fighter plane because all domestic flights were cancelled. I looked up while walking home from work and I felt a shiver go down my spine. As I worked in a hotdog shop, it was only one block away from an Army National Guard building. My heart broke when I saw so many men and women coming in for lunch in their uniform, knowing where they had to go and they had a job to do. One of them I knew very well.
Another thing I remember from Sept. 11th was how everyone displayed the flag.
That day on Sept. 11th, I got off my shift at the hotdog shop and walked to my parent’s house to talk. I remember what my mother and sister said. My sister started…“Sue..(my real name is Susan), I woke Mom up and told her we were under attack.” Isn’t that very scary? To be woken up to be told that we are under attack? But it was true. We were attacked. Two days later, my mother bought a German Shepard puppy. Not that it could do any good, but it made my mother feel safer.
I want to take this time to thank all of the many men and women that are in the service and protect this wonderful free country. I want to thank all of the wonderful veterans…because of you we have freedom. You sacrificed your time and your life for us.
I think I made this post long enough even though I feel I can easily add more to it.
