On September 11th, 2001, our lives changed forever. Not just in America, but all over the world. We will forever carry in our hearts and our souls a sadness, as we think back to that day, and to the tragedy that has now caused a separation in all our lives. On September 10th- we lived happily and carefree. We bickered over Democratic vs. Republican issues. And many of us lived our lives for ourselves- worrying about problems that seem so trivial now.

And then it happened...

The morning of September 11th, my brother called me at 9:18am with horror in his voice, "Turn the TV on! Something horrible has happened- it feels like it's a scene from a movie- but it's not!" And there in front of my eyes- planes were crashing into the towers of the World Trade Center, and the Pentagon- over and over again. I watched CNN endlessly for the next few weeks, and even now I tune in as often as I can. I can't believe this has happened. That so many people are gone- that so many lives have been taken away from us in such a horrible way. When one person is hurt or killed- it affects us, nevertheless- five thousand people...
The cast and crew of Jamie's Way wish to send our deepest sympathies to the friends and family members of all the victims of the September 11th attacks. We will pray for you, and do our best to help out as citizens of this Magnificent country in every way we can.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

Written By Jessica Morton age 17, Maryland

Faith is what got me through September 11, 2001. As an active member of my church all my life, for the first time; on that horrific day I doubted my faith. Sitting down on my living room floor with my nine month old sister in my lap, I felt numb, confused and sick to my stomach. I kept asking God why? Why are you letting this happen to us, why are you letting them do this?

Then it came to me...

God is a busy man; he has hearts to heal, lives to mend, and problems to solve. Then I thought about my doubt and remembered everything he did do that day.....he gave the world, the nation, and our people the courage, faith and strength to fight for our freedom!

So if you think about it... God was there that day, maybe I did not feel him.....but he was there. He always will be. If you lost a loved one or you had a friend, please know that God was with them. So if anything ever happens like that to me, I am going to die or be in pain knowing that God will die right there next to me.

ABOUT TOMMY, MATT, AND GLENN FROM HOPKINS UNIVERSITY

       September 11th was hard enough- watching planes crashing into two of the most fascinating buildings in the world, knowing that so many people perished in those buildings as they came tumbling down. And then yesterday I picked up the Johns Hopkins Alumni magazine... And there amongst the seven people that died from the Johns Hopkins community- were three of my good college friends... The World Trade Center tragedy happened all over again for me yesterday.
       Glenn Wall, Matthew O'Mahoney, and Thomas Cahill were friends of mine in College- where we spent many hours at college events, parties, or just hanging out around the two schools. (They went to Hopkins, and I went to Goucher) Matt and Glenn were always hanging out on my floor at Goucher- Lewis, 3rd floor. Since Matt was dating my friend Allison at the time. And Tommy... Well he was a very good friend of mine- he and his brother Jimmy were best friends with the infamous Rob- who was my favorite man on campus all four years that I attended Goucher. (Hello Rob) So I spent hours with Tommy, Jimmy, Joe, and Rob watching tv (sports), studying, or hanging out at PJ's Pub, or the Ratt. Those were certainly the days.
       Glenn, Matt, and Tommy- God bless you, may you rest in peace. I know your memories will always be greatly remembered and cherished. We will never forget you- you will be remembered as heroes to our country- and we will win back peace and freedom for this beautiful country that we live in, and for your memories. You will always be my personal heroes, now. For my heart is filled with a much greater sorrow than ever before. Love forever, Elena

"...Jim Cahill says his brother and the others lost in the attacks should be remembered as patriots. "There are no words that can capture this for the country, let alone for each family. It's an act of evil. But hopefully these people who have sacrificed their lives will save the lives of millions. They are all heroes." Especially Tom, adds Jim. "I was proud to be his brother."

Quoted from the November 2001
issue of the Johns Hopkins Magazine

Matt O'Mahoney, and Glen Wall

Matt O'Mahoney, and Glen Wall were best friends in college in the mid 1980's at Hopkins University, and continued to be best friends after college when they both got jobs at Canter Fitzgerald in the World Trade Centers. Both have wonderful, touching tributes about their lives in the New York Times. I love the story about Matt, and his relationship with his wife- and about the horse. He was such a charismatic person. And Glen was so sweet- always willing to listen to you!

God BLESS you both... My thoughts and prayers are with you, and your families. I will always treasure those moments I've spent with you- and now you will always be remembered as American Heroes...

Angel was my favorite contestant on the Reality based series "A Murder In Small Town X", and he had actually won the show! But he was such a wonderful person, and dedicated fireman, that he went right back to work- in New York City, and his fire station was one of the first ones on the scene of the World Trade Centers on September 11th, 2001. God Bless You, Sweet Angel... You're one of my HEROES, and will never be forgotten...

Love forever, Elena

I didn't know Nicole Miller, but I was very touched by her memorial. She was so young, and beautiful. And being so close to the age of our Jamie's Way audience- I felt it would be good to add our own tribute for her here. This was an attack on America- not on our government, but on our people- people of all ages. We must always remember the victims of September 11th, and do our best to prevent this from ever happening again. May God bless you, Nicole. Our thoughts, and prayers are with you, and your wonderful family. You will always be remembered as an American Hero....
