Attacks on our own soil shook up to the core. I just woke up from my wifes dorm and jumped in the car to go home and get my work clothes. I turned on sportsradio wanting to hear some commentary on the sports world and heard the radio guy say "We would love to talk about sports right now but a plane has flown into one of the world trade center towers, this is something big" I remember thinking it was total horseshit and they were gagging. Then I got home and saw the tower smoking with a huge hole in the side of it. I still remember it vividly and watching that second tower being hit live on tv. It was a surreal experience and I can say that on that day with all the rumors spreading about attacks in different areas it was the 1st day I was ever afraid from watching televison.

Lest we forget those who have lost their live on that day.

RIP to those who died in New York, The Pentagon and in that field in Pennslyvania.
