We will never forget

September 11th...a day we will never forget! I will always remember where I was and what I was doing that early morning in 2001. I just had gotten out of Institute Council Meeting at NAU (6:00 am every Tuesday). I was on my way to Microeconomics class (7:00 am), when my friend Laura told me that a plane had crashed into the twin towers in NY. I kind of just laughed it off, thinking how could a pilot not see the building? Anyway, nothing too much was said in class, and then I went home before I had to go to work at Wal-Mart (yes I was a cashier). My roomies were finally up with the TV on, and we started talking about it. It was then that I realized we were under attack. By that time, the 2nd tower had been hit, and I'm not sure when the other plane went down at PA or the Pentagon. I went to work, and the store was empty! All the cashiers were standing around, and we were usually all busy. The TV monitors had the news on, and I spent my whole shift watching it just about with a few customers here and there. I went on my break and had a missed called from my dad. He told me what had happened, and that my brother (who was in the Air Force) might be on stand by. I was scared then! It was a horrible day, week, month, and now years! I should have gone to the memorial service NAU was having, but I didn't, I just wanted to watch the news. To all those who lost their lives, to all the heros, and to all our servicemen and women, I'm truly grateful to you all! You are my heroes!
