"Jesus, help us" was all I could mutter to myself. I'll never forget the stillness of that day. I didn't know what to expect next. It took from me that feeling of total security that I had known all my life in being an American. My country was wounded; like the innocence taken from a child. I cried from a place from where tears had never come. I still pledge allegiance to a flag that has never looked more beautiful through my tears.Vicki Ramsey-Winschel
