Sept 2001, I had just walked into work. My boss at the time said a plane hit the World Trade center... I thought oh that is horriable. I went into my office.. put my stuff down, and heard him yell... Oh Crap (not the word he used) I went running into the office... and I was like Are you ok?? And he said another plan just hit the other tower.... At that time... I felt sick, I knew at that moment. This was no accident. At that time I was Chief of my community Rescue squad. (We lived across the River from Trenton.. That is the Capital of New Jersey, Wasn't sure what was being targeted) I called to find out what was going on, since all we had at work was a radio. While on the phone with the suppervisor I hear... the crew in the background start yelling... I asked Roxy (the supervisor) What? What? Than she said the Pentagon Just got hit. I started crying... My Brother who was at the time stationed in DC he is a Marine. Who had to go to the Pentagon almost on a daily basis. I hang up and call my mom... She had been trying to call my Brother since the 2nd plane hit. While I was on the phone My brother got through and Started Yelling... The pentagon was Bombed.. (He had left the pentagon that day an hour earlier) He had just got out of the shower.. and was on the roof watching it burn. And then the plane that went down in Shanksville.
9-11... I was on standby to head to New York... Our squad is only an hour from New York. We had supplies stocked and ready to help. Our Help was never needed. Morrisville PA is right across the River from Trenton NJ. (We have since moved and hour farther North) But Alot of people from lower Bucks County traveled to New York for work. I know alot of people who's family were lost in the Towers. And One flight attendant from flight 93. This date touches me.. Not only for my Brothers and Sisters in the Emergency Services... But My Brother.. Who was in DC and watched the Pentagon be forever scared... And who will be deploying to Afghanistan around Feb. To continue the fight that was Started 9-11-01
God Bless all the lives that have changed since 9-11-01
