Just need to say this!!

No pics in this one. Just something I needed to get off my chest. Yesterday was eight years since the attack on the USA. Not just the towers or the Pentagon. It was an attack on all of America.

I am sure most people remember exactly where they were at that moment. I remember walking into work and hearing it on the radio. Like most people I thought an accident with a small plane. I went to the backroom to start stocking shelves when we heard about a second plan. Now we knew it was NO accident. We were all stunned. I lived closest to work and ran home to get my little 5 in. TV so we could watch and not just listen to the news. By the time I got home tower 2 was collapsing. I remember thinking I can't watch this on a 5 in. so I grabbed our 27 in. Still am not sure how I did that.

My first thoughts is where and how are all the family. Sarah was in school in Colorado and Jesse in Kalamazoo. I had to call them just to hear there voices. You just want to hold everyone close.

At work we all tried to carry on, but you just couldn't believe what you were hearing and seeing. The problem now is that I think too many people have or are trying to forget that day. I watched a special on the history channel last night,102 min. It was like seeing,and feeling it all again. Dave and I sat in stunned silence at the horror of that day. It was VERY hard to watch, but I am glad I did. It reminded me that we are so fortunate to live in the USA. Fortunate that we have men and women who have kept us safe for the last eight years.

Hug your loved ones and NEVER FORGET!
