"We've defeated freedom's enemies before, and we will defeat them again. We have refused to live in a state of panic or in a state of denial. There is a difference between being alert and being intimidated and this great nation will never be intimidated." - President George W. Bush, 2001
it's funny how thinking back to that day you know EXACTLY where you were and what you were doing...i was at work sitting at my desk when a woman came in and said "a plane just hit the world trade center"...at first we all thought it was just a stray plane that wrecked into it...it didn't take us long to learn differently...soon after we heard of a second plane going into the other building...we all rushed to the only office in the building with a tv...i stood in that office, crammed full of people shoulder to shoulder, and watched as the towers fell...the room was completely silent as people tried to wrap their minds around what was really happening...we then heard of the third plane and we were told they were closing the building...i work for a state agency so they erred on the side of caution and closed the building...
