Had just finished my exercise routine at the YMCA, getting ready to go home, took a look at the TV and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Couldn't believe what was happening in NYC and other places as the day went on. That awful day is still as fresh in my mind as my junior year in high school when I heard the words, "Mr. Kennedy was just shot."

I was working on the assembly line in Detroit, putting the rear ends of GM cars together. Heard it on the radio. I remember telling the dude next to me, that I bet it was that Osama guy you hear about all the time. Moved back to Florida shortly after.

We had just moved to Georgia and I was unemployed. So, I was sitting at home watching Good Morning America when they broke the news. My stepson, who had just joined the service, called me and we were talking about it, in shock, when we both saw the second plane hit on tv.

My heart goes out to all the survivors and the victims families on this day of rememberance.

I was in bed with my wife that morning. It was very rare that we had an off day together . She got out of bed to talk to her mom on the phone and went over to the living room . After a couple minutes she came into the bedroom and told me that a plane had crashed into one of the towers . So I got up and migrated into the living room to watcxh the newa of what's going on. After a couple minute , I was shocked by the second plane and so on . My heart sank that day . Deeper into myself than it has ever been and will never be the same . Believe it or not , these few lines that I just wrote were probably the hardest thing that I will do today . Seeing through my tears right now is nearly impossible .

When will we , as a society , as a world communty , as a people stop bickering about all this minor cr@p that we all bi.tch about everyday and realize that there are much more important things in life . Our families , our friends , each other . When will it be when our religions , race , color of skin , sexuality , etc won't set us apart as a difference . People , we are all the same . Being of a certain race , religion , color of skin , sexuallity , etc , doesn't make you any better or worse than your neighbor , we are all exactly rthe same , literally brothers and sisters .
NEVER TO FORGET !

I was a Junior in High School in history class. Once we caught wind of what was happening, we turned on the TV. Every other class I was in it was the same, we sat down and watched the TV until it was time to goto the next class.

The only thing I could think of, after going home, was whether or not we were going to get the next day off from school...no dice...

My mother knew one of the pilots...it was weird...

Random (but relevant) Fact: Seth MacFarlane was scheduled to board America Airlines Flight 11 to Los Angeles but missed his flight due to a hangover.

Simms, excellent post and I agree 100%!

simms great post.

I was in the 7th grade waiting to leave for school standing in front of the tv. and i never left the house that day i just stood there tearing up. I just kept thinking WHY? i didn't really understand what terrorism was. I will never forget what happened that day. and i will never forget how we as a country pulled together as one the very next day. If we wouldn't have pulled together and supported one another it would have been all the worse. The thing i remember and cherish the most was when President bush stood on top of a car and gave the speech to all the firemen, police, and rescuers. That will be a defining moment in our history.

God bless those who perished and may we always keep them in our hearts.

In the following days please remember what it felt like that day and thank all our armed forces how sacrifice so much in order to defend our great country!

I was in US History class my 10th grade year, witch I found that kinda interesting considering now it is part of US history. The teacher heard word and turned on the TV and everyone stoped what they were doing and started watching, myself included. We all watched in horror trying to understand what exactly we were looking at...

I'll never forget what happed that day.
