I'm ashamed to say I've been so wrapped up in my own problems today, that yes, I had forgotten.

Reading this has reminded me how insignificant my little troubles are.

Thanks, Boss

Powerful day in my life. A life changer, a most definite life changer. I remember exactly where I was, what I was doing.

Thank you atlninerfan for all you've done for us. I too remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. Just walked in to the third grade class to teach art. We didn't have any classes that day. Just talked to the students and watched the television reports. Changed my life too.

I was only 4 at the time, but I still remember being taken home early from school and watching the Twin Towers fall down on TV.

9/11, Never Forget.

I remember that cool September morning like it was yesterday. I was walking my dog around the park and for the first time ever, I took a radio with earplugs on and listened to the news. I was a bit perplexed as it was the same running story that wouldn't end on our all news radio channel. They were talking about what happened. I quickly went home and turned on the TV and all stations had the news on. I could not believe it. I saw live pictures of the fateful moment of Tower 2. I actually screamed at the TV in horror that split second.

9-11 was a life changing day for me, I remember every second, every single second. I had started vacation, loaded my girls ages 6 and 2 (now 18 and 14) to daycare because had a tee time at 10 am. I had the radio on Sports Radio 1310 The Ticket and heard the first plane insanity. I got home in time to see plane 2 hit the second tower and never left my seat for another 30 hours. I was in shock, in pain, angry, alone and scared, It was pivitol and a life changer. I will never ever forget 9-11. Especially George W's face when he was to the class room in Florida. I feel he is the 2nd president to feel like that and have to react. FDR was the 1st after Pearl Harbor.
My grandma was scheduled, ticketed and packed to fly to Seattle to take a cruise to Alaska on 9-12 2001, she didn't make that cruise until 2003.
