JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – While the Sept. 11 terror attacks were a national tragedy, it was a personal one for one Boston woman who visited Jacksonville on Wednesday.
Terry Greene's brother, Donald, was one of the heroes who died on United Airlines Flight 93, the plane terrorists hijacked and crashed in a field near Shanksville, Penn.

On Wednesday, Greene shared her story at Florida State College at Jacksonville's Kent Campus.
Greene is a member of Peaceful Tomorrows, a group created by family members of those killed on Sept. 11, 2001.
Greene said peace, not retaliation, is the rational way to move forward.
"There have been hundreds of thousands of casualties from the wars, most of them women and children civilians," Greene said. "And we know when you lose loved ones, each death of an innocent civilian is like another 9/11. It's another family going through what we did. Plus, people then want revenge."
About 80 people attended Wednesday's event, which concluded with a candlelight memorial.
