I remember sitting here chatting with someone when they said to go to the tv. I was glued to it for the remainder of the day. It was so unbelieveable, yet very real and very much happening right before my eyes.

Your Right Ross...This One Really Tears one up...

I think when I saw this happen on that day, I hit every emotion that the human body can possibly experience.....The only thing I can say at this point is that I hope that God will take care of the people who created and acted out on this horrible, horrible event. This still does and always will make me VERY angry.....My heart goes out to all those who didn't make it, and for those who have to carry on without his or her loved ones. Harrybaby

Absolutely chilling-never to be forgotten. We lost a mother and her five year old daughter from our town- on their way to Disneyworld in CA and on one of the flights.

My first reaction after thinking about these poor people and their families is that every person who doesn't believe in this war against the terrorists should have to sit and listen to tapes of all these phone calls that were made that day. I'm not trying to start a political discussion but we need to be reminded from time to time how horrible 9-11 was and that it can happen again. We have a tendency to forget after a while. LINDA

Precisely. I thought a few times before posting this, then I thought," Well if it touches people the way I think, they will remember why it is that we are at war with the terrorists."twinmaker said:

I intentionally bought a book and DVD on 9/11. I just thought I should have something to remind my family, now and to come, what happened.

I will listen tomorrow - or next week - or next......
I am way too emotional and angry about this whole thing that I just don't believe I could stand it. I had the TV on that morning as it happened and I watched every bit of it on TV, too. It was unbelievable to all of us, wasn't it. It's nearly impossible to comprehend such devastation, even now.
When Larry King speaks of it, he ALWAYS asks his guest 'where were you that morning and what were you doing'. Like Kennedy's murder, the explosion of the space craft (first one), and 9/11, we all know where we were and what we were doing.

Still crying.....being from NY. I have no words to describe what that day was to us. I was in the area just 2 days before with a friend who was visiting from FL. Still have not been able to go back to the area. I used to look at the towers every day on my way work just before crossing the tunnel.
So many friends lost.....
This should be shown more frequently so people can understand what we are fighting.

I had tickets to the premier of the new movie "World Trade Center" for last night but was not in the frame of mind to see it. All of the local fire stations were invited.
I fully intend on seeing it because, as many have said, these things need to be kept in front of us so we don't forget. Too many people have put this in the past which is why there is so much objection to the war on terrorism. We must prevent this kind of thing from happening again.

It was very disturbing to relive it that way. I watched it on the television as it happened as well. We're less than 30 miles from the City.
Afterwards, we could see the smoke long after the towers fell. The smoke continued for days. We could see it burn and burn from Washington Rock State Park on the Watchung mountains, where George Washington and his company had stood to watch the movements of British soldiers in New York over two hundred years earlier.
There was a certain spot on Rt. 22 in Union, where you came over a hill, and you could see just the twin towers, the rest of the city being too low to view. The view is open sky now.
Best wishes,

I will never forget what they did to us. I will always support our troops confronting them on their own territory, because leaving them alone will only get us more of the same.

I know that I'm probably as guilty as many others in wondering just what the objective is Iraq, but I have a friend over in Kuwait at the moment and he goes into Iraq on an almost daily basis. He is 100 percent positive that we should be there and so are many other soldiers that help him out. I guess the media has sort of detracted from the real reasons why we are there and Afghanistan. No, I'm not trying to turn this into politics, but if our own people can tell me that there is a definate reason to be there, then there must be.

It still seems so surreal.
It still seems so surreal.
To think that those people had just got to work for the day, poured their first cup of coffee and were starting their work day, just like most of us. Then BAM - a total nightmare.
Ross, the liberal media has us duped. They tell us that Pres Bush and his administration are lying to us, well....I also know of kids who are fighting over in those countries and they totally believe in what they are doing. I, personally, am sick majorly of our young people getting killed for a nonwinnable war - yes, I believe it is nonwinnable. There are too many religious factions who want complete power. However, going into Iraq was the right thing to do - my opinion.
At the bottom of all of this, is our alignment with the State of Israel. Hello!!! The Arab nations will not rest until Israel is wiped off the face of the earth. Even then, I think they would find another reason to "hate." The US is hated because we support the Nation of Israel. No one talks about this in the media and I am not sure why.
I, for one, will not forget 9/11 and will never forgive either. There is no reason on earth to slaughter thousands of innocent people who were just going to work for the day to make a living. Evil IS alive and well on planet earth.

I lost friends in the towers. Some worked there but others were in the emergncy services community, paramedics, firemen and police officers I knew from working in a trauma center in New York. These folks ran in to buildings as others tried to get out. A special breed, they will be forever missed. Deb

that was horrible. i can't begin to imagine what that must have been like. my husband and i were driving back to NC from a visit in PA on 9-11. we had videos going for the kids ... cell phones had no coverage as we were going through the mountains... we were completely oblivious to it all until we stopped at a McDonald's for food. i remember wanting to stay in front of the tv to watch and absorb what was happening, but at the same time trying to keep the tv off so the little ones wouldn't see it. what a nightmare.
I live in Green Bay and we had a Tall Ship Festival this weekend. After my husband & I finished enjoying the sights we started to head back to the car. We passed by a 9-11 memorial that neither one of us had seen. (It was dedicated last year shortly after my surgery). It's a 4-sided memorial with a different symbol on each side - Eagle, Flag, etc. and the names of all the known victims - from the Towers, Pentagon & planes. It also has a piece of steel girder from one of the towers. The main inscription reads: "In Loving Memory to the Known and the Unknown, the Found and the Unfound."
In addition to the names of all the known victims, there's another inscription noting the names of the known Wisconsin victims.
Almost everyone who walked by the memorial was drawn to it - to touch the names, and to be touched. May we never forget.
