I was at work at an Ad agency in Boston. Our building sat right across the inlet from Logan Airport and each day I sat at my window and watched the planes take off over our building.

My bosses wife called and said a plane hit the WTC...I thought she meant Boston's WTC and I was like no it didn't I'm looking at the WTC and she said NY. I turned on my radio (we didn't have a tv in the office) and was listening as it unfolded. I remember hearing the DJ screaming as the second plane hit the second tower. I had a crowd around my desk. The news kept coming there were more planes and we watched holding our breath as plane after plane flew over our heads to land at Logan.

My Mom worked at American Express travel in Cambridge so I called and told them the news there. They lost 4 clients on those flights out of Boston.

I remember once all the planes landed it was so eery as the fighter jets went screaming by patrolling the skies over Boston. When the Pentagon was hit I new life had changed forever as we knew it.

Never forget that day and never forget, whether you support our president or the war in Iraq, that our troops are in harms way every day trying to prevent this war on terrorism from taking place here on our soil. Better there than here.
