Hello my name is Mary Falk. I remember that day very well. I had just sent my child of to school and was cleaning around the house I had turned on the tv, I could not believe my eyes. The World Trade Center was on fire. Shortly after I watched in shock as the 2nd plane hit tower 2. Shortly after the phone rang. It was my mother in tears she wanted to make sure I was watching. I was, then yet another shock the Pentagon was hit by a plane also. Then yet on other shock the plane crash in Shanksville PA. This was getting a little to close to home for me and my family. I remember the unthinkable what next. What did we do as American citizens to deserve this. I immediately went to school and pulled my daughter Megan out. All I could do was hold her tight. That day had to be the hardest day for anyone to even grasp the concept of what was going on. My family and I are very grateful to all the men and women who have helped (and/or) lost their lives. We hope god blesses all and watches over everyone. God Bless America!
The Falk's, Mary, Greg, Megan, Brianna, and Dylan
