It has now been 9 months since that terrible day. You never forget the uneasy feelings we all felt that day. I was 2000 miles away from my family and so desparately wanted to get home to hug and see them one more time. They say time heals all.... will be ever be normal again?

“Who knows, maybe you even deserved it after all the times you've devastated other countries, be it economically or destructively.
God bless America? I don’t think so.”
After browsing thru a few postings I was deeply disturbed by the aforementioned post. The 18-year-old writer references a date of August 6 1945 and August 9, 1945. Is this the bombing you are referring to? If so why don’t you also reference December 1941 Pearl Harbor. This was an unprovoked attack don’t forget to indicate that. The bottom line is all three of these incidents occurred based on a Politicians decision. I too love my country but perhaps we should let the Presidents and Dictators box it out. Why don’t you spend your time resolving the issues in the UK instead?
GOD BLESS AMERICAN LAND THAT I LOVE!!!

I was arriving at work that morning and as I passed through one cube next to mine a girl asked if I'd seen what had happened in New York. She said a plane crashed into one of the Twin Towers. I thought at first the weather must have been pretty bad or something. She said it was an airliner. Then I thought that there was something seriously wrong with the pilot but still didn't make sense.
Minutes later someone ran by saying the other tower had been hit. I knew then that it wasn't an accident. At that point in time know one knew what to expect after we heard about the Pentagon and then Flight 93. I was scared and confused and I was hundreds of miles away.
I work right outside the Atlanta metro area and left work early. I ride transit and was listening to people talk about it. One woman even said she knew another lady whose brother didn't go into work at the WTC because he was sick and now all of his co-workers were dead. She was crying and I felt terrible all over.
Before I left work I emailed my mother and told her that I loved her. I talked with my wife frequently by cell phone all the way home. Her job is right next to the metro area Airport and I feared something might happen but was relieved when I heard they shut air traffic down.
I'll never forget that day, I never want to forget it. I hope that no one forgets it. The day that we do is the day that we let our fellow Americans and Freedom itself down.
~Always remember and cherish every moment of your life.

In summer 2001 I was in NY. I bought a poscart of NY with the "tweens" on it for my friends wich are tweens. I gave them the poscart on September 11th without knowing what have happened half an hour befor. When I heared about what happened I could not belive that something like that could have happened especialy in NY. That story is wird.

I had gotten up with my seven-month-old son at around 7:30 est. I had the TV on in the background tuned to The Today Show. When the first plane hit, our local news station came on to tell us. I can remember thinking, naively, that it was just an accident. A horribly dumb pilot. I sat down to watch the coverage, and when I watched the second plane hit live, I went with a shaking voice to wake my husband. We sat glued to the TV for the rest of the day. When the first building collapsed, I turned to my husband and said, crying, "Oh my god, all those people! They just sent in all those firefighters!" It was unreal then, and it still seems unreal now.
