Twin Towers

Dwayne and Kay Collman were watching “CSI: Miami” at their Yorkville home Sunday night when a message at the bottom of the screen announced President Obama would be making an address to the nation.
They didn’t think much of it first, but soon the news leaked that Obama would be announcing that U.S. Forces had killed Osama bin Laden, the terrorist that planned the attacks that killed their son. Jeffrey Collman was a 41-year-old flight attendant on American Airlines Flight 11, which was hijacked by al-Qaida terrorists and struck the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York on Sept. 11, 2001. The Collman’s think of their son every day, and Sunday night was no exception, of course. But the day stirred many emotions.
“The pain never goes away from 9-11,” Dwayne Collman said. “We were greatly relieved to see the news everybody was. I wish I could have been out in front of the White House. I was going to go out in front of the house and yell ‘U-S-A’.”   Twin Towers
