September 11th



Today marks the 7th anniversary of September 11th, a devastating attack on our homeland our Country. I remember this day like it was yesterday. I was getting up to get ready for classes and like any normal day (before kids) I flipped on the news. I couldn't believe my eyes. What I thought was an accidental crash, turned in to being a HORRIFIC day, that will always be etched in the minds of Americans who were watching or sadly lost a friend or family member. As I watched the news I saw things that I will never forget. People tumbling/ jumping from windows, people running the streets, blackness etc. It was horrible. Most businesses and schools closed. Our nation had been attacked, it was not plausible. Now, seven years later, I like to remember why we are fighting for our freedom and put so many lives in harms way to do so. And for me, even though I may not agree on reasons for War, I do appreciate the men and women who do. Who are risking their lives so that nothing like 9/11 happens again. Thank God for these people and take a moment to remember the innocent people who lost their lives this day 7 years ago.


What ground "0" looks like now July 2008





A memorial across the street next to fire dept. that responded first and lost several firefighters.

It was very sad to be there in person even so many years later. I couldn't help but cry when listening to their stories. Really there was a point it was so sad Rick and I just had to take off the head phones because otherwise it was going to be a depressing day...

Thank you for sharing...I was there a few months after and even when I went a few months ago, it still hits me the same way...

It was a very scary day, I remember feeling like the world was going to end because we just did not know what was going on or what would happen next.
