It's so hard to believe that the WTC crashes were 7 years ago. I remember finding out about it at work at Premier Title at Isla Del Sol in St Pete, Florida. My friends Jeannine, Janet and I just sat at our desks stunned reading about it on the internet, taking turns going to Larry's Ice Cream next door to watch it in disbelief on TV. I called my friend Eric in NYC to make sure he was okay. I couldn't reach my (then boyfriend) Bill on the phone at his job in Boston---his cell phone service had gone out that morning. I was so thankful when he finally called me and told me he was fine. What a horrible day.
I pray every day that a tragedy like that will never again happen and that we can all live together in peace. My siblings-in-law Scott and Julie are both serving in the Air Force. Our entire family is so proud of them.
Thanks to everyone out there serving our country in the armed forces and helping to ensure our safety.
