When I heard that two planes had crashed into the Twin Towers and It wasn't an accident, I gave in to a visceral blood lust. I just wanted revenge.  I was listening to the radio and watching the TV waiting to hear that the planes had...

I saw the first plane hit. To this day, nine years and counting, I can see in my mind’s eye the flight path, going down the NYC skyline saying to myself, very quietly in the back of my mind, that doesn’t look right. I was brushing...

I had not been at work very long (a credit union) when I walked into the break room and the TV was on and the were talking about a plane hitting one of the towers. At first I thought it was a small plane....and then as I stood watching...

My parents moved to the states in 1969. I was introduced to the world in the winter of 1971. Growing up with the towers: On my parents mantel, for has long as I can remember is a photo of me in my pram with the north tower behind us and...

It was early in the morning. I was still asleep. My mom came in my room and awakened me, telling me that a small plane crashed into the World Trade Center. I turned on the news but really didn't think much of it. It was just an...

I'm not going to turn this into a political commentary other than to say that the current crop of 'haters' that are turning the clock back on women's reproductive rights, voting rights, civil rights, creating and pushing wedge issues...

I woke up one morning to get ready for school (10th grade), and my mom was on the couch and she had this look of horror on her face. She didn't even speak. She had the news on. I went to sit next to her and we watched it. I ended up...
