Let us all take a moment or two to remember all who's lives were taken from them 6 years ago in the cowardly attacks of 9/11.
Lets us also remember all of those in history and everywhere since who's only misfortune was being in the wrong place.....at the wrong time.
We will never forget.

The T.V. images and radio reports are still vivid in my mind from that day. I will always remember where I was, what I was doing, and how sickened I felt as I watched and heard what transpired.
God bless those that perished helplessly, those that gave thier souls to help others escape, and the families and friends that will never see thier loved ones in this world again.

I was in 6th grade math... Even not having to work, that was the worst math class ever.
Never forget.

Never forget.
I was in 7th grade but the school never told us about it. I found out listening to the radio on the bus ride home. I didn't beleive it untill I got home and saw one of the women my dad works with in tears in our living room. her husband was a pilot in one of the planes.
It was our generations " day that will live in infamy(sp)" and we shall never forget.

I was in 6th grade as well, and saw the 2nd plane hit.
to all.
My parents ask me why I want to join the Military, and I have to alwasy remind them of 9/11 and that ugly old bearded man who planned it!

Was on a plane to Bosnia that day for deployment (SFOR 10). We had just lifted back off from Ireland and it wasn't until we landed that the SFOR CDR and CSM came on board and told us. I remember sitting in the back hitting on some Flight Attendant's, and saying something like, "it's not real, they are just trying to jack us up" Reason I said that, was before we had boarded on the Aircraft the Battalion CSM had hyped us up and we all thought they were doing the same. Man, as soon as we got into that inprocessing tent we could not friggin believe it.
On a side note, my wife was actually on her way there but was delayed due to problems @ her job. Not that's it's cool(more like history in the making) but she has always had a thing for taking pictures and has some pics of the people running and smoke and debris coming down the street at her. If she hadn't of been delayed I would not have had the opportunity to meet her and have 2 wonderful little girls. Makes you think some times, if someone really is looking after you.

I was a Junior in College. I was asleep at the time, I had no class on Tuesday until about 6:30 PM, didn't have to work on Tuesday until noon.
My wife (girl friend at the time) who was never one for history or politics and was always extra dramatic, calls my cell phone and tells me "They are attacking New York" at which point I'm thinking who? The Canadians?
I turned on the TV about 2 mins before the 2nd plane hit.

I was sitting on a bar stool, after working the midnight shift at Logan Intl. When they showed the building starting to crumble and fall it made me sick to my stomach.

I was 1st grade when i heard across the P.A. system "teachers, please turn on your Televisions ans tune to CNN". For the next 15 minutes the entire building was quiet. I was still to young to really understood what happened. 6 years later, i understand much more.

Seeing these posts from some of you who say you were in the 1st or 2nd grade brought a question up in my mind.
My wife teaches 2nd grade, that makes those kids 7 maybe 8. They were infants when this happened. I wonder what she is explaining to them today? I'll have to ask her when I get home tonight. If the answer is interesting or odd, I'll post it and let you know.
I'm real interested in seeing my son's history books discussion about 9/11 (he's 1 right now) when he starts high school. That will have let 20 years pass. I wonder how people are going to look back on it.

Walked into the classroom of the tech school i was attending.
Looked out the window and saw the 1st tower with that gaping hole and smoke pouring out of it.. Was talking to a friend about what could have caused it, thinking maybe a gas line exploded or something. See a big fast moving object smash into the back of the 2nd tower, and the explosion, then the glass falling slowly.
Hear from guys in the classroom next to ours that it was a plane..
Hear that we've been hit in other places, and that it's a major terrorist attack.
Leave school, was walking down the street and see a bunch of people screaming and crying.. look to my right and see one of the towers crumbling and a huge cloud of dust rising.
Made a bunch of phone calls to everyone in my family to make sure they were accounted for... Got the hell out of manhattan.
fluffied up day.

Every day that I take off from DXR and look towards NYC I remember. Every day I fly down the Hudson corridor I remember. Every day I travel across the GWB I remember.
to all those lost, all those that lost people and all the heroes we all lost!
Never forget, never let up until all the terrorist get their wish to meet Allah.
