Wow has it 7 years already since this tragic thing has happened? I think back to what I was doing that day, and what WAS I doing? Ditching school of course. It just so happened that I decided not to go to school on that lovely Junior year day of mine. I was watching T.V. and it was broad casted on every channel. I didn't really know what was going on because I was very ignorant about what the twin towers were but I just knew something bad had happened. My dad called me that day and was flipping out thinking that the schools had sent everyone home for some reason, when it was only me home. :) I later figured out how traumatic it was.
A couple of years later, July 2007, Brittany Youngclaus and I were able to visit the site in New York on July 4Th. It was very sad to see all the damage there but exciting to see all the new construction that was happening. The Freedom Tower will be a remarkable landmark and hope to visit it when it is complete.

Another note on Americans fighting back
Californians we need to fight
VOTE YES on PROP 8
It is the constitutional amendment that we are trying to get passed in CA that will add to our state constitution that
"Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid and recognized in the state of California."
Thank you to all those wonderful people who are fighting for this, and doing everything that they can, by either calling people or knocking on doors, or who are on some kind of committee, or have donated money. You are wonderful people.

Ron Prentice Gets Rich Fighting Gay Marriage
Ron Prentice is CEO of the California Family Council and Chairman of ProtectMarriage.com, the committee behind Prop 8 (the folks working to ban gay marriage in California).
Ron is set to be be honored at the Values Voter Summit 2008 (September 12-14) with Focus on the Family Action's Family Champion Award.
Justin McLachlan has broken a major story in the Proposition 8 battle: California Family Council contributions have mostly been spent on the generous salaries that Ron pays himself and his staff.
So far, there’ve been about a dozen news and blog pieces that have appeared online referencing Justin’s research into Ron Prentice and his shady management of donor funds.
Folks volunteering for and making contributions to the “Yes on 8″ campaign should be aware that the operatives running the show have a track record of using contributions to generously reward themselves.
