Today is the terrible day in history where so many people brave in the last minutes of their lives and in their everyday lives lost them in the attacks! I remember being on my mission the day it happened and watched the second tower fall in disbelieve that something like this was happening. I couldnt believe it.
I remember knocking on doors to help talk to people in the hopse to lift their spirits. We knocked on the door of a man who told us he found out his wife was dead and he was on the line with the airline right then to try and find out for sure! The look on his face and the sound of his voice is something I will never forget!
This day will always be something for me to remember. I also remember how close everyone was. People treated each other different. People prayed more and business men and country hicks drove around in trucks with flags mounted in the back or all over their cars. Even the politicans seemed to side with each other and that is a rare day indead.
So here is to hoping that the survivors and their families and all the families of those who lost someone may find hope, peace and happiness. I have no trouble seeing pictures because I like to be reminded. But if you are one who will ber traumatized dont scroll down to these the photo.

Wow, what a great tribute, thank you. I can't imagine how you felt serving your mission there in the midst of the crisis. What an experience that will not be forgotten.
Im sure we all wont forget where we were on that day. Ranks up there with pearl harbor, and JFK day.
I think it is important to allow ourselves to change for the better for these events. The country did but I wish it stayed the way it was just after that day!
