on the morning of 9-11-01, around 8:00 or 8:30, i was getting ready to pick my girlfriend up so we could get started on going to new york city. we were going to go to the village then to centra park to spend the day, then later on go egt something to eat at a nice italian resturant. then i get a phone call right when i was gtting ready to leave, it was a buddy of mine tellingme to turn on the tv & that he didn't think i'd be going to new york today. well i turned on the tv & i could not believe what i was seeing, just like most americans thought i also that i was something out of a movie. then when i sa the other plane hit the next tower i said to myself this is not good. plus when i go to new york i come through the tunnell into lower manhattan, but that put a scratch in those planes, i was always proud to be an american but never as much as i am today & the day it happened. i prayed for the vitims & tere families ever night & the people that are missing, yet to be found. so like ever other american a this time we need to keep sticking together & we'll all get through this tragedy together. god bless america.

p.s. i know i wasn't the only one that didn' want george bush jr. to win the election, i didn't really like him. but since this happened i have great respect for he guy, because weather yu know it or not he's doing a great job handling this tragedy, along with new york's mayor & the govenor. thank you god bless
