Its hard to believe it was 8 years ago. It is a day that no one in this country will ever forget. We all knew what we were doing at that time of the day. Here is a song that tells it all to me. that was such a horrific day for this country. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvj6zdWLUukTony

I will never forget the moment I heard we were under attack. I was sitting in a meeting with my boss, and there was a knock on the door that brought the life changing news.
A fellow employee opened the door.He looked eerily strange to me, his white complextion, his shaky hands. His normal steady voice coming out something of a whisper. The words he spoke didn't make any sense. "Under attack?" The pentagon was just hit? The twin towers are on fire? Is this a joke? It's a terrible joke right? This is the United States, we dont come under attack. As I searched his eyes for any sign of relief, I recieved none. Just this dead on stare that looked like two eyes peeking out from under a white sheet. This was real.
I shut down my branch that day, sent my employees home, and drove home to watch the TV. I didn't eat, I didn't answer the phone, I didn't even sleep that night. I hang my flag every morning on my house, take it down each night. Today, as I hung that flag it meant so much more than any other day possible could. I walked into the garage, found another flag, and hung that one too!!! Thanks for letting me share: PMM
