9/11/2001 Where were you?

We will always be drawn together by this date and each of us will remember what we were doing: I was having a second cup of coffee and watching the morning news show. I live about 5 miles, as the crow flies, from Tactical Air Command, Langley Air Force Base. The TV was showing the Twin Tower on fire, and the house shook with the sounds of a "scramble" from Langley; I stepped to the window to see as I heard the exclamations on tv as the second plane hit. I tried to reach my niece who was attending Columbia University ...no luck, but she was fine. And tears filled most of the next days.We will not forget.
