  today is september 11th, 2003. two years have passed since terrorists attacked america. that was the most surreal day in my life and i'm sure yours too.
it is a day that every person in the u.s. will never forget. i remember hearing about the first plane crashing into one of the towers on the radio while driving to work. i thought it was a severe case of pilot error. when i arrived at work, we gathered around the television and watched the planes hit the world trade center towers over and over again, not knowing yet that each plane carried one of our fellow employees, we watched as the pentagon was hit, we watched mesmerized by the dreamlike sequence of pictures that passed over the screen. we watched in disbelief as the colossal towers fell and turned into a pile of indistinguishable rubble.
we incredulously watched as people leapt to their deaths from the soaring buildings, knowing there was no hope left. on this day of remembrance and reflection, i just want to express my deepest sympathies to everyone who lost a loved one on that fateful day. i believe there are no words in the english language to express the sadness you have all experienced. i can't even imagine what or how you feel. i only hope that you can carry on, knowing that your lost loved one would want you to.
let's pray that nothing of that magnitude ever happens again on american soil.
