Its been 6 years since that very sad day. It almost seems like it was yesterday. I rember it so well I was in 4th grade and school was just starting when the princapal came in and told us what was going on. I didnt understand what happend at the time but since I get older its very sad! So lets just pray for the familys that lost a loved one and just be happy what them soldiers over sea's is doing for us. GOD BLESS EVERYONE THAT RISKED THEIR LIFE TO HELP AT 9/11!!

Ah yes, September 11th, 2001. I was out on my paper route (no small thing that, over 200 miles). I had just turned off of Peavy road, taking a left onto highway 464 when NPR (National Public Radio) announced that an airliner had crashed into one of the twin towers. I remember thinking that some air traffic controller was gonna get his balls dropped into a vise for sure. A short time later, NPR announced that another airliner had crashed into the other tower. This went beyond the realm of an accident! I eventually came to Peavy's Store (a little chip and dip place) to drop some papers off. The TV was tuned to CNN and Herbert Peavy and I watched as the towers, first one then a short time later, the other, collapsed into smoking piles of rubble. Not too long after that, I recieved a message from my fire chief that we were on alert to go to New York, if needed. There wasn't much of the route to finish, so I got it done. I went home and got my gear packed, then went to the station to await developments with my fellow fire fighters. In the end, we didn't go but we contributed a large part of our funds for 2001 to help outfit and deliver a new fire truck (The Spirit of Louisiana) to the FDNY.

Hard to belive it. We will always remember those who lost their life.

Dont forget in a couple years when they issue new United States History books, in the modern times section there'll be the 9-11 on it, so our kids will certainly know what it was.
