September 11, 2001 is a day that no one will forget. Our freedom was attacked, families lost loved ones, brothers..sisters..moms and dads. Still I sit here unable to coherently express my feelings, the deep sorrow I feel, the anger, and yes..the fear. Not only fear for all that has happened, but fear of what these actions may bring. Are we looking at WWIII? Will I have to see my husband, thousands of men and women off to war because of such a cowardly act of violence?

There's so many questions running through my head. I sat there along with millions of others watching footage from this tragedy. I ran to the phone trying to find out about my family & friends stationed or working in the area. I cried...I cried for the needless loss of life, for the children, the families of those that were lost. Even if none of your family or friends were involved, we as a nation still grieve..and will continue to grieve.

I've sat for hours upon hours scanning survivor lists, calling every number I could think of trying to help find friends and family. And the number of names I scanned most of them listed as deceased, again I was reduced to tears. Yes I lost friends in this horrific tragedy, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you who are affected by this and i pray your loved ones come back safely to you. I pray for what might happen to our nation now.

God Bless and God Speed.
