| Does anyone remember where they was on 9/11? I remember very well, where I was, having making a deliver in Hauppauge, NY that morning and working my way back west on the LIE (I495) toward Wyandanch, NY to pick up a load of chep pallets for returns. Heading West and seeing the smoke bellowing from the twins, at the time wasn't to concerned about it because, on my spare time I am a Volunteer Firefighter, and a fire is a fire. Then as I was approaching my exit, I noticed the second plane coming in, still not alarmed because Laguardia Airport was still between myself and the twins. When I pulled in to my customer for picking up, it was then when we all heard the news about what was going on, and much to my surprise I witnessed it with out even knowing what was taking place. I know how I felt that day, and I still get all choked up and teary eyed when I think about that day and what it meant to me. Our freedom was broken that day. It made me think that we, as Americans, were trapped, our freedom was no longer the same. I take the time everyday to remember 9/11, but today especially, because it is the anniversary of the tragic loss of life that change the way we do our everyday walk with life.
