I was at work when it happened. My office is connected to a 24 hour control room where they have a tv. Someone came in and asked if they had seen the news, so they turned it on. The first thing that I can recall is the news announcers trying to figure out what happened at the Pentagon. No one got much work done that day. I remember calling my family to see if they had heard. I cried on the way home that day and many after.
It is wrong how it's been used since; I try to separate it from that day. I'll never forget the faces of the terrified people in New York or how heroic the people on flight 93 were. Sometimes it seems like it was so many more years ago than seven, other times it seems like just yesterday.
