I remember it very well. Had called in a sick day at work earlier that
morning and I was just lazing around on the couch watching TV. When
the news people broke into the programming with word of the first plane
crash, then the 2nd & the third. It feel so surreal. I couldn't take it all
in at first. I called a co-worker to talk to someone & see if they knew
about it too.

Almost everyone else in my neighborhood had gone to work & so the
area was pretty quiet. The very next day, almost every single house
had put out a flag or pasted the flag in a front window. I was amazed
but pleasantly surprised by the shared patriotism.


Ps. I hope someday the terrible people responsible for this attack are brought to justice.
