The Day Terror Came To Visit

The Walls Crumbled

I went to pick Dad up for his shift at the local airport. It was only a couple of miles from the house, so there was plenty of time.
I had been out all night, you know, messing around and stuff. I wasn't really paying attention.

The TV was on. The sound was turned down. The World Trade Center was smoking. Again. Big whoop. Dumb ass terrorist. They don't have the resources to affectively damage the WTC. They should have learned that the last time that they tried.

As I stood there. While the cameras were trained on the North Tower, a plane dropped into view. It flew directly into the South Tower.

I couldn't believe it. On live TV. A plane had just flown into one of the biggest Icons of America.

Chaos!!!!

I stood there in total disbelief....

Then shock and horror set in. America was under attack. A crushing blow had been struck. We were already at war!!!!

Everything ultimately shut down that day. Terrorism had finally drawn blood. It was the beginning of years of unrest and war.

Now years later, we still remember the shock and horror. As if it were just yesterday.

No terrorist... We shall never forget. We shall always defend ourselves. We shall retaliate for all cowardly acts committed against us.

But most of all...We are not afraid!!!!!!
