let freedom ring.
With the deep affection I have with New York City, Manhatten, I was jarred to my very soul. I had just walked into to work at the local phone company. News reports were hitting the air, at first they thoguht it was an awful accident; they got it half right, it was awful. But it wasn't an accident.
I had friends who due to circumstances beyond their control (being delayed in a Manhatten traffic in a taxi, running late and missing their bus) were spared that day. I am eternally thankful for this small blessing.
In May, 2000, on vacation in NYC, I was able to visit the twin towers. The sheer size of them ammazed me. I have included a picture of me taken at Liberty Island while on a tour of the Statue of Liberty with the WTC buildings 1 and 2 in the back ground. As well as other photos of the NYC skyline with them standing tall and proud.
In our grief over the loss of the Twin Towers and the thousands there, we must make sure we do not forget those who lost their lives in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, when the passengers overtook the terrorists on United Flight 93 and at the Pentagon.
