I haven't decided what to title this posting.  Probably just 9/11.  It's a strange feeling because I can remember the day very clearly.  It was a Tuesday and I had a dentist appointment in the morning and I was going to work after.  I got to work a few minutes after 9 a.m.  and someone yelled for me to turn on my radio.  We couldn't believe it!!!!!!  This was something that no one in their wildest dreams would have thought would ever happen!!!!!!  It is to this day, one of the most horrendous, saddest days of America's existence!  The innocent people that paid the price for being Americans and the families that suffered then and are still suffering now is incomprehensible to me!  I can't even imagine the pain.........  At work, someone came in and told us we could watch what was happening in New York, on a TV in one of the conference rooms.  We watched in silent disbelief as the 2 tallest buildings in our nation just crumbled in clouds of dust!  At that moment I believe that possibly everyone in the country felt as if they had just been punched in the stomach and had the wind knocked out of them.  It was terrible.  I wonder how many people across the country were personally touched by that terrible tragedy?  I know one of the guys I worked with had been on the phone with a friend in the first tower when it was hit.............  He (my co-worker) was suppose to be in his friend's wedding on the coming weekend.  They were discussing the arrangements and the phone went dead.  As he walked by the office, his face was pale and blank.  He was still holding his phone open.
