I agree, I'm amazed at how quickly time has passed. That day is still very vivid in my memory.
God bless all those and their families who perished in this tragic event. |

I certainly don't dwell on this day or anything but thinking about it this morning I found I still get a little choked up.

I'll never forget. I wear black on 9/11. I was in Binghamton NY that morning for a meeting, and living in Pennsylvania. When they sent us home I remember driving on the highway and all the electric signs said, "All Roads to NYC Closed". People were driving like 90mph on the highway and I saw cops not pulling them over for speeding. My brother-in-law was working in Manhattan that morning and he said they all went outside and he says he actually saw people jumping from the buildings, and then he walked with all the other Queens residents back over the bridge to Queens because obviously there were no trains running.

My uncle was supposed to start a job that week working for a company located in the twin towers. He ended up turning it down the week prior.
A guy that I went to school with (grade school - HS) lost his brother and another person I went to school with sat at his bedside during his last moments since the family couldn't get into NY. I'll never forget being glued to the television that day and the weeks following just to see what was going on. I'll never forget seeing the airplanes turn around and head back to KCI. It was a horrible time, but it also brought out the best in this country. |

I was on my way to my grandfather's graveside memorial. I had just gone through the drive thru at McDonald's to pick up a little breakfast when I first heard about it on the radio.

The next morning, not a word was said. It turned out that EVERYONE went home without telling anyone and the boss man understood. |
