I worked ...I'll never forget this horrific day. I worked at the Sears Corporate offices where many nationalities work in harmony. Together, in silence, we watched the live news stream being piped into every available TV monitor around the complex. There was a collective gasp when the second plane hit. I can still feel the pain and shock of that day, along with the aftermath of working with many fellow associates with a Middle East upbringing. Good people who had nothing to do with what happened but you saw the fear and uncertainty in their eyes when you'd meet in an elevator or in the halls. This was an event with ripple affect that still exists. I pray we never see another such horrible act of senseless destruction, but somehow know we must stay diligent.<br /><br />Thank you for this chance to publicly remember those who lost their lives and give honor to the many heroes of the day, seen and unseen, while holding close those we love with a prayer of thanks on our lips.Barbara Weitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04282872369066664256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-3555876304132337602011-09-11T13:34:22.197-05:002011-09-11T13:34:22.197-05:00I think we all remember where we were when we hear...I think we all remember where we were when we heard the news.

The morning was beautiful. I put on my uniform, rolled my hair into a bun, and put on my boom dockers. As I made my way into work from the barracks, I heard someone say a plane struck the WTC - I did not believe him. At 0603 PST I watched as the 2nd place hit. At that moment, my life changed forever and my role in the Navy became important. <br /><br />I will never forget that day, nor the lives lost. I am thankful for the all the firefighters, police officers, etc. I continue to honor those who serve in our military. My brother Gunnery Sergeant Popejoy is currently in Afghanistan - I pray that he comes home safe everyday.Angela Suzukinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-81546534951642285442011-09-11T07:37:10.198-05:002011-09-11T07:37:10.198-05:00So thankful we were together during this incredibl...So thankful we were together during this incredible time in history.
