I had just drove our children to school. After I dropped them off I began listening to the radio. The announcement was made that a plane had hit one of the Trade Center towers. By the time I drove back home and turned the T.V. on the second tower had been hit. I knew the United States has under attack. Shorty after that the Pentagon had been it also.
I'm 38 years of age. This was the first time I ever had fear for my life living in the United States.
I LOVE THE UNITED STATES and living in Alabama gives me great comfort. GOD has blessed us with the freedom to live in a great country. As an American I look at September 11th
as a reminder to love family, friends and life one day at a time. I pray each day for our country to continue to be known as the land of the free.
Thank God For America
