Admin,
Thank You so much for the tribute. 9-11 is a day that I will never forget. Although I don't think that I knew anyone on any of the planes or towers, I was working for a collection agency in Las Vegas, who's main offices were located in tower 2.
I had gotten out of the shower and was getting ready to go to work and was watching Katie Couric on Good Morning America as she talked about the first plane having hit tower 1. I sat in total shock as I watched tower 2 being hit, thinking this was something like a spoof of "War of the Worlds", but knowing in my heart that it was the real thing. Had I lived closer, I would have been one of the first volunteers on the scene as I still had an active EMT license out of Michigan. Instead there was nothing I could do but sit and pray for the souls of those that lost their lives that day.
I never did make it to work that day. And it didn't matter. After that day the company no longer existed as all of their major records were lost when tower 2 went to the ground. Although it is predicted to be a cold wet day here tomorrow, I will still fly my flag with honor.
