On This Sept 11

[EvilKing00]

Lets remember all those who were tragically murdered and all the heros who did their best to help.

16 years goes by quick. I knew 2 people who never came home that day.

I was on a subway under the towers as the second plane hit. I truly will never forget.

Thanks for the reminder!

Was an awful day.

Take nothing, including tomorrow, for granted.

We had one ex-co-worker and friend whose office was high in the North Tower...he was off that day...thank goodness.

He later moved back to GA. Glad to have you back, Billy!

I was in 1st grade at the time. My class had about 20 kids in it. By noon, there were only 10-13 from parents pulling their kids out; nobody knew what was going on, and the one plane was hijacked over Cleveland, which is 40ish minutes from the school. I left in the early afternoon for a doctor's appointment, and remember the entire ride there listening to the somber tone of the radio news host, followed by "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood. When I got home after the appointment and was able to see the destruction, I was confused. Being so young, I didn't understand. I grew up in a very Patriotic family and wanted nothing more than to help, even at the age of 7.

I wrote a letter to President Bush in the days following the attacks. I don't remember what I said, but his team responded with pictures and a generic letter. Pretty cool at the time (I still have it).

Every year, I watch YouTube videos and TV shows that recall the horrific events that unfolded that day. I shed tons of tears and always try to learn a new story.

I will Never Forget.
