Many have been put into harms way because of that day. The events that unfolded after that have changed the face of history forever.
God Bless those who have suffered through all of it. I seriously get moved emotionally by all of this.
Never forget any of our wars on mankind, it is the greatest personal sacrifice one can give to serve our country for freedom. Many go to serve without thought of themselves, only the thought for their country.
Thank you for that.

I had stopped by Best Buy with my beer truck that day looking for a CD that just came out, I delivered right in that area. Much to my shock while walking by the TV section I and another guy watched the second plane hit the Tower. We stood there speechless for a few minutes glued to the TV not really believing what we saw. Went to Tom's party store and sat and talked for awhile. When I got into Vermontville on my way home there was a mile long line at the Gas Station.
Pretty freaky how it all happened. When you do any investigating of your own and really look into what happened that day things sure don't add up to what the media says.

I was at home in my basement room in Santa Barbara with the 1000 yard stare looking at the TV feeling like I was watching a war of the worlds reenactment.

At work and they announced it over the intercom.We knew it was bad when they told us to shut the machines off so we could hear the announcement.

I was in 6th grade in middle school, and it wasn't until about 1pm that anyone told us that anything was going on - we all knew that something was up because parents were picking their kids up throughout the day, and they'd come over the intercom with a list of 20 names ever 2 or 3 minutes of people to come to the office. My geography teacher simply said "I'm sure you know that weird things have been happening today, and the truth is we are under attack." Keep in mind this was in 2001, before 10 year olds had cell phones, so we didn't really have any means of communication.
At one point or another, flight 93 flew very close to or directly over my house, and my cousin (older by 2 years), who lives in Shanksville, saw the plane go overhead and then down over the treeline from his school classroom . . . . . spooky situation.

Never ever forget. Absolutely.
I was working maintenance at an apartment complex and one of the tenants yelled out their window to me saying a plane had hit one of the WTC towers. First thought was it was a small plane and probably an accident. Told my manager and he said go check out the news on TV. I turned the tv on and as soon as the picture came on clear enough to see.......the VERY first thing I saw was the first tower crashing to the ground. All I remember was I got a ringing in my ears and my mouth went dry. I went from thinking tragic accident to monumental disaster in a fraction of a second. I really could not believe my eyes.
A lot has changed in the years since the attack and more lives beyond those who died that day have been given up as a result. May it never be forgotten.

I remember sitting in my US Gov't class in my junior year of high school. The teacher turned on the TV to put in a video and that's when we saw the first plane hit the tower. Every TV in the school was on the news and there wasn't a single person in the hallway for more than the time it took to go from class to class. I cant even describe the feelings that day.
I was in my last year of college and heard about it on the radio on my way to class. I didn't believe it, thought it was a radio prank. That is till I got to campus and everyone was on their phones calling other people to find out info. Many NY residents went to my school, WVU, because it was cheaper than in state. My buddy and I were on the verge of dropping out and joining the Army. We decided to wait and I enlisted a couple months after graduation. I will definitely never forget that day.

I carried my twin baby girls out of the bedroom and laid them on the living room floor. I turned on the t.v. before heading to kitchen I heard them talking about the WTC and I thought they were talking about the car bombing that happed in 97 or 96. It wasn't till I came back in with two bottles that I saw the smoke and flames coming from the first tower, then I saw the second one hit and I couldn't believe my eyes. I propped the bottles and ran back to my bedroom and grabbed two things first was my shotgun and the second was my huge parade flag. I hung my flag from my second story balacony and it came inches from touching the ground. I then sat between my girls with my shotgun close and watched the news with tears filling my eyes. I will never forget that day or all the brave men and women we lost doing their jobs. I may not be proud of my government, but I have and always will be proud of the men and women who serve this country in either it's military or it's civil services. These people may not be perfect, but they do put themselves in harms way when they don't have to.
