I remember...

-The first news anchor on the TV, I believe it was the early show, saying that a plane had hit one of the twin towers.
-telling Steve to turn on the TV in his classroom
-just as he turned on his TV for the kids to see what was going on, we watched the 2nd plane hit
-listening to the horror in the news anchor's voices
-crying
-praying. praying. praying.
-watching a man and a woman hold hands on the outside of the building right before jumping off
-calling and calling my best friend in DC to be sure they were ok. Needing to hear her voice.
-going into the office and sitting in front of the little TV in the breakroom numb.
-feeling very patriotic and scared at the same time
-being glued to the TV for the next week just watching the news feeds almost 24/7
-Feeling proud to be an American.
