Please take a moment tomorrow to say a prayer or a moment of silence or....... To remember all of the people that lost there lives on 911 and please remember the people that are still suffering from that horrible day.
Also please remember the men and women that are serving our country past and present.

me too. just so happens my morning classes were cancelled for some reason so I went to my g/f's apartment to kill time until my next class. i turned on the tv about 10 minutes after the first plane hit (which katie couric said was a small cessna or something), and watched the second plane hit live along with the collapse.

i cried man. i felt sick to my stomache all day after watching that. I didn't go to any of my other classes that afternoon. Just sat there glued to the TV waiting for GW to come on and tell us what was going on.

the most distinct sound I remember is that of the sirens on the emergency vehicles that were choked with the dust of the collapse and instead of their wailing high pitch, they only chirped.

its hard even now to watch that video again. just wasn't fair for those inside.

well spoken...........We should not under estimate those folks intentions on our destruction, its real.....maybe subdued for right now, but they'll be back. I just hope and pray we have the insight and wisdom to head them off....

Know that pain. Lost someone very close on that flight. Can not forget.
 
So, where were you when you first heard?

I was working in a church school, walking down the south hallway towards the office.

Loading the work truck at the shop. Co-worker mentioned a plane and the WTC. Turned on the radio in the truck. Stunned, confusion, WTF? :-?

The thing that sticks in my mind was the days that followed....skies with no contrails....evenings glued to the TV....images I'd wish to forget...hype and patriotism....pain and tears....lies and rumors...wishing for the world before....a slow realization that those days had passed....fighting for them to return.

Never Forget to me, means never forgetting what we had.....and what we can be again....can we?


Today my apprentice asked why the flag was at half staff.....What?

How soon we forget.

Historians have the upper hand. :wink:

I was at the gas station filling u....I mean, feeding cole slaw to the overly-greedy speculators, when an elderly man asked me why the flags were at half-staff today.

I took me a couple seconds to choke back the tears before I could respond. And he felt absolutely horrible when I said, "It's September 11th."
