I WAS NOT LISTENING TO MY NORMAL RADIO STATION (WLS TALK RADIO) THAT MORNING. A CO-WORKER CAME INTO MY OFFICE AFTER HIS WIFE HAD CALLED TO TELL HIM TO TURN ON THE NEWS. I CHANGED TO WLS THEN BEGAN LISTENING TO THE DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS THAT WERE UNFOLDING AT THAT MINUTE.

MY EX-HUSBAND AND I HAD VISITED THE TWIN TOWERS BACK IN THE 70'S AND IT WAS QUITE AN EXPERIENCE. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THEY WERE BROUGHT DOWN AND THE PEOPLE JUMPING FROM THE TOWERS AND THE FEAR THEY MUST HAVE FELT. I BEGAN TO CRY FOR ALL THOSE INNOCENT PEOPLE. I CALLED MY SONS TO HEAR THEIR VOICES AND KNOW THEY WERE WHERE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE. A FRIEND CALLED ME AND WE JUST COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT WAS UNFOLDING.

TODAY I AM JUST AS SAD AS I WAS A YEAR AGO AND HOPE WE NEVER FORGET WHAT WAS DONE TO THOSE PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES AND WE AS A NATION. I HOPE THAT ALL OF THE PERPETRATORS ARE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE AND SWIFTLY. I PRAY TO GOD THAT BREAK THE RING OF HATRED THAT GAVE BIRTH TO THESE MISGUIDED, EVIL PEOPLE.
