September 11,2001 started out as a beautiful day but turned
ugly at about 8:46am. I was driving to work when I heard the
first plane hit, and thought of it as an accident.I got to
work and about a little past 9:00am learned of a second plane. My heart jumped and started crying,then the Pentagon,
and Shanksville, PA. Oh my God I screamed.I will never forget this day, tears,pain,anger,disgust that I felt was beyond control.We were asked to go home where I found a church to go and find some solace there.My beautiful America has been hurt. The land of the brave was bleeding. I couldn't believe it,but America stood tall with pride, and more beautiful than before. That's my babe (America).

May God Bless America
