I used to think that planes were beautiful. It always seemed such an
amazing thing to fly - to soar above the world, in a way, free from the
reigns and problems of the earth. Now I can only see death when I look
at planes… I see pictures in my head of planes crashing through
buildings…I see videotapes from the morning of September 11th, when it
just seemed like a horrible dream or a sick joke by some young movie
director inspired by Orson Welles’ “War of the worlds”. Little did I
know, when I first saw those images, that one of the planes had crashed
into my family as well; and we would never be the same again. It wasn’t
until my father’s phone call when he simply and almost, calmly said “I
think we’ve lost him” that I immediately let out a strange cry, but it
was unlike any cry I’d ever experienced. It was almost a gasp or a
scream, more intense than any cry before or since. It was obvious to me
then that a violence had been done… .to me. I wasn’t scraped or
bruised….no broken bones, in fact, to look at me I looked normal….except
for the puffy eyes and the sullen expression. But I was no longer normal,
I had some invisible appendage that I had lost and could no longer
function as before. I would see the media coverage of the rubble,
twisted steel and concrete which were once the twin towers, the pentagon
or the planes. What people can’t see are all the families of the victims
trying to put the broken and twisted pieces of their family back
together…but because they are so damaged and not all the pieces are
there…they just don’t fit together anymore. The families are splayed out
and crumpled just like the wreckage of the buildings and planes. And
that wreckage will take a lot longer to clean up.
Julia Caswell Daitch, sister

I would like to say thank you to Sharon's family for their loved one's sacrifice for her country and fellow Americans. When I arrived home from Crystal City on September 11, one of the first people I saw on TV was Sharon's sister, pleading tearfully for her recovery. I prayed silently for her and hoped she'd be found safely. My condolences to Sharon's family, and may God make each day without your loved one easier and easier. Be assured Sharon is in a better place and is looking down at you from the heavens.
Elinda Lee, fellow Pentagon worker
