I live in Center Moriches New York but I was visiting a friend down Virginia Beach. I slept through the first plane hitting tower One. I turned the TV on just in time to see the second plane hit the other tower. I was stricken with fear, fear for them in the tower, for those on the planes,
for my own sons (17 & 21) who were up in NY, for our President, for our Country. Still not knowing the extent of what would happen I called my sons in New York to tell them I loved them, where we would meet, if this turned Nucleua.
I will never forget that day nor how much I thought about
freedom. I'm proud to be an American and I hope and pray my Grandchildren, Anthony Adam Czerniawski III and Alexa Marie
his sister, never have to know what that terror felt like.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
