- I love and respect all the Hero’s who risked their lives to save people , I can never forget this event , one of the scariest events I’ve been through, I pray for those families that lost someone, and I’m thankful for the ones who survived
We are not as divided as the news claims. Love is still alive in the USA.
Amen
^^THIS
@catluv er remember when the newscasters didn't promote their opinion they would stick strictly to the news.
More like, We are not as divided as they are trying to make us.

That's what NEWS means. But now it's all about an anchors opinion.
As bad as September 11th was, my favorite day was September 12th. For that one day, we were beautifully united. I miss September 12th.
Eddie Piszczek, amen! I never thought about it in those terms until you said that, but it is so true.
@@TripletDad3 Thank you. I suspect it will always be my favorite day.
I don't think it was on the 12th, I am pretty sure President Bush went to ground zero a few days after 9/11 but who didn't cheer when that rescue worker yelled "I can't hear you" and President Bush replied "I can hear you! I can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you, and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!"
Considering the current climate we live in we need to remember stuff like that and stay united. We are just full of hate and anger now and with our own country. It’s sad. Real sad. We used to be united but have split once again.
Listen to the song by Autopilot Off called The 12th Day. Talks about this exactly.
Want to come together? Stop letting politicians tell YOU how to think and act. We are supposed to tell THEM how to govern.
Amen
I couldn't agree more! Semper Fi
Amen brother
Supposed to. They trying be slick by putting chips in ppls hands. Soon they gonna try put them in your brains and you'll be controlled like a puppet
Merica! Love all you foo’s!!!!
I was 21 when it happened, and I lost my Great Aunt, she was on the 82nd floor of tower 2. When this song first came out, it floored me and still brings a tear to my eyes.
Sorry about your loved one 😭
WizardPandora I was to young to understand the situation. But this song floors me too. I'm sorry for your lose
Sorry for your loss
I think if we thought for ourselves instead of listening to talking heads on the 24 hour news stations we'd do better. I'm way old enough to remember when newscasters told us the news, now you just hear their opinion of what's happening.. When they told the news of the sixties, showed pictures of the Civil Rights Marchers getting attacked by dogs or having fire hoses turned on them, I was a kid but I could see that was wrong. I know there was segregation in KY but it ended right after I was born, or @ least in Eastern KY mountains. I've seen White Only sign in my lifr. So when I was a kid & saw those signs @ places in deeper south on TV I knew it was wrong & questioned my parents.. I'm not going to write this over, I was saying I'd never seen a White Only sign in my life..I had good parents who taught me to treat others as I want to be treated.
Sorry
I still remember about all those passengers. Who decided to take things into their own hands. They stood up for they believed in. My prayers to all the families who lost loved ones.
Roseanna Manues United 93. Movie depiction of that flight is amazing.
Your right it's not worth it. Back then we all spoke. We didn't all agree but we have true conversations.
I'd scrap social media to get it back.
Social media is the cause of a lot of things good and bad. I wish it was not so important to people. This is the only form of social media I have
It really wasn't that long ago that we as a country were united. It is possible and shouldn't take a tragedy. Let's cut each other some slack and realize were all just human beings! !!
Tim Johnson Amen!
⛪️🙏🏿👍🏿✊🏿🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
9/11 was our generations Pearl Harbor 😢😢
Rhonda Ross and they awoke a sleeping giant. God bless America. .
Love you brother. The greatest is love indeed. I'm white, conservative, God fearing and respect everyone. People should never judge another based on race or nationality and hold it in a negative light. People should see the heart, the God given soul that resides in each of us. Let's all go out everyday and do some good. Jesus Christ love and bless us all until He comes again.
I definitely remember where I was. I was in my 12th year in the Navy. We were on pre deployment leave . I was about to head back to my Ship in San Diego. When I saw it on the news.. I was due to head back 4 days after this happened. I was called told get back to San Diego ASAP. Since there were no air flights for a few days. I had to get a rental car and get there. I got pulled over for speeding in Airizona, when the trooper saw my ID he gave me a police escort to the Cali state line. The security getting back on Navsta San Diego was very strict. Had to walk from Main gate all the way to Pier 7. Trust me that a long walk with a full sea bag. Right away before even shipping out we were extended. Those first few weeks out at sea was pretty intense.
john Magill , Wow! Thank you for your EXTENDED service! What an incredible, surreal experience. God bless you, and that Police Officer!
Thank you for your service! God bless
I was in my 4th year in the Navy, was walking through the mess deck on USS Theodore Roosevelt, a couple of guys went running through and were talking about it. We were unable to leave the ship for a few days, we thought we would deploy immediately. Luckily we deployed on our scheduled date of Sept. 19th, since the majority on board were not prepared for deployment a week before the scheduled date. We spent the next 159 days straight at sea launching planes. Was my first deployment, I can still remember it like it was yesterday.
Praise the LORD YESHUA you are safe and sound be BLESS ALL WAYS🙏🙏🙏👑👑👑💖💖💖
Thank you for your service. I appreciate you, much love and respect.
I love all my fellow Americans
As I listened to your story and saw your reaction to the song, I began crying. I am sick at the state of our nation today, and I agree with what you said. We need to pull together and stop the hatefulness and anger . I pray everyday for us all ! God bless you JB!
Alan Jackson's music is so good.
I love all of my fellow humans now and always!
I was 15 in my 10th grade art class...my teacher was a Navy vet and he said this is a day you will never forget. You will never forget what you were doing, where you were, or how you felt. He then explained what was happening and turned on the news. He was right.
I was 15 also but i was in America history class
My son woke me after the first plane hit. I watched the second one hit live. I was panicked, devastated for the sight of it all.
I remembered when the Cold War was happening and the drills we participated in, in school. Cover your necks, get under the desks.
On 9/11, I thought “ Here it is, Armageddon !”
We just started praying.
I don't understand hating someone because of their skin color either.
My motto to life is
One race
One blood
One love
There is only one race, the human race
There is only one blood, we all bleed red
There should only be one love, love everyone as one.
Cheryl Pacola Hallelujah
OR hating for any other reason that makes them a little different from you or me. It's stupid to hate.
Just makes me think of queen one vision
You say this like nothing negative happened, only someone born a different skin color as you. People did harm to other people during this incident. Does it really matter if they have more or less pigment? Honestly, I thought it had more to do with the fact someone doesn't like you because of different opinion and want you dead.
I am in my sixties and remember this like it was yesterday. This song was so important to our healing. MOST of us cried, reached out to strangers, ran to our families and the blood bank. Very few did only one of the things mentioned in this song, if any.
This is a reminder that we are one, and we need this Love Now more than then. Let us not wait until another national heartbreak before we reach out to each other.
I would like to say this!! Alan Jackson is one of the greatest songwriters in America!! To be able to write this song in the very,very short time after this tragedy. And to capture just about every single feeling and emotion that all of us were feeling is absolutely remarkable!!!! But also remember Daryll Worley's "Have You Forgotten" I can listen to either one of those songs and it still absolutely moves me!!! It is also one of the reasons why I Love Country Music!! But I also love all different kinds of music!! "GOD BLESS AMERICA"
Agreed, September 12th was the most amazing day. I remember strangers hugging in the street. Color did not matter, just that we were moving on. I remember feeling so united....
I've been a deputy sheriff for 25 years and never felt that the work we do was appreciated until that day. Now, I don't do this job to hear " Thank you" but, every person we met on the streets after September 11th told us thank you and be careful out there. Every race, every age, every background, everyone was together. I agree with you. I wish people would follow the golden rule. God bless America !
And thank you still!!!
My dad was a firefighter so thank you for your service and I’m sorry about what’s going on right now it’s not right
Still brings tears to my eyes. God bless.
you aren't alone.
This song by the great Alan Jackson should be on everyone’s playlist. It captures the shock, disbelief, pain, anger, fear, confusion that we initially felt on that September day and the many ways we reacted and coped with what had happened. I called my Mom to tell her I love her and gave blood in hopes I was making any kind of a difference. The fact that heartfelt songs like this are crafted so eloquently and cherished by fans of Country music is why I love Country.
Love can't be destroyed. Xxx
One of my favourite songs and always makes me cry 😭 I was around 7 as well but I don’t have any memories of when it happened except from what my mum tells me now.
This wednesday 9 11 rip
The greatest gift is LOVE and we should all remember this.
You are a hounded percent right. How many songs are full of love words.
Your not alone
Xxx.🕆 know it
No truer words are spoken. Bless. Love always wins. Bless.
It's sad it takes tragedy to bring us together. We are one. Always have been one in the eyes of God. Why can't we see ourselves that way?
Some can my friend.
If only all could think that way.the world would be a better place. 💪🕆all the power to the people that has only love. No power to the haters. 👍💪🕆
Blessed my friend
This song makes me cry every time! I pray for our country too. Like our pledge says, we should be one nation, INDIVISIBLE, with liberty and justice for ALL! ❤️🇺🇸🙏
UNDER GOD cant forger that part
Antonio Sannicandro amen to that!
@@antoniosannicandro4945 That's actually the part we should forget
@@cliftonguyette2498 haha there is always that guy...
@@antoniosannicandro4945 Yup, calling out bullshit
The first time I heard this song, I was driving from Albuquerque, NM, where my husband was stationed in the Air Force, to Wichita Falls, Tx to see family. I literally had to pull over on the side of the road because I was just crying so hard. It took me about 30 minutes to get myself back together. I've never had a song effect me like that.
He wrote most of this song that night when he couldn't sleep
Willie Harrison, he wrote the song October 28, 2001, several weeks after the attacks, because he couldn’t find the words (though he did know while watching the news on 9/11 that he wanted to write one).
Don't think any of us slept for a long time 😢
All these later I am still on sleeping pills or I'm up and looking out of the windows.
@@andiedeamon Same,
He actually woke up with the words, "Where were you when the world stopped turning", and wrote the entire song in 21 minutes!
AMAZING SONG 🙏🙏 🙏🙏 🙏
Praise the Lord, and praise Alan Jackson for hearing the Lord's voice that night!!
I remember watching when Alan Jackson (AJ) sang this for the first time. It was on an awards show not too long after 9-11. It was almost like someone put a big Band Aid over our hurt! He wasn't going to record it because he didn't want people to think he was just trying to "jump on the bandwagon" or take advantage of the situation. Thankfully his wife and others close to him said, "no, people need to hear
this. He has always given God the credit for it and is actually uncomfortable with the attention it brought to him. There's a video of him singing it in Rockefeller Center 5 years later, so emotional. September 13th, 2019 I went to his concert. He still sings it in his concerts because his fans want it! When it starts most folks are on their feet, holding up cellphone flashlights, swaying and singing along for the entire song! 😥😐😊
21 days later i quit my job as a long distance Truck driver and joined the Army! My “Battle Buddy” was a black guy from Alabama & we served together through the war and we brought each other home from that hell hole! & thanks to videos like this!
Son you might not be able to change the world, the be true to yourself answer that big heart of yours. It's very rare that you can lead the bull by the horns, but you can lead by example. you might not be able to save them all but you'll be able to save some in your life. As my grandmother would say, just keep looking up, and God will take care of it.
You lead the bull by the harns. But can lead them by the balls if you squeeze. Them hard enough. 💪✊👍
I forgot how moving this song is. I cried through the whole thing. I remember where I was that day. I’ll never forget
I will never forget!!! I was in medical school in Miami and September 12th was a beautiful beautiful day!!!!!! I can still close my eyes and see people lined up and down US1 waving flags and cars honking in support as they passed by the Patriots. We should be living EVERY DAY as if it were September 12th.
Great reaction as always. This video reminds us why we should honor our flag. We should do so in thanks for all the men in women who serve this country both here and abroad and to honor those who died doing so. Our country came together after this tragedy in a way that I had never seen. Race and politics didn't devide us because for too short of time we were Americans first. I pray we can get there again but without the tragedy. This nation's greatest resource are her people and together there is nothing we can't accomplish.
This song grabs hold of my heart every single time I hear it.❤
My husband is a Disabled Army Veteran that was in 27 years and did 7 tours to the Middle East. We will never forget what we were doing that day. I completely agree with the message in this song. Sadly, there are SO many that were either too young or not even born when this awful day happened. These are the ones that say we are wrong for fighting.
Another good one is Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue”!
Shelly Marquez definitely
American soldier is pretty good as well by Toby Keith
Yes that songs badass honestly
Darryl Worley "Have you Forgotten"
I say yes to all of those songs!
He did this song for the first time on stage at the Country Music Awards. He was just sitting in a stool singing this song, and the entire audience was so quiet. When he finished the song, he got a standing ovation. He perfectly captured how most of us felt that day and afterwards. This song came from the heart.
I was 21... my grandfather was a truck driver and he was out of state hauling catfish. He called,told me to get his checkbook and go fill all the gas cans he had in his shop and buy up canned food... my small town had the longest lines for gas I've ever seen. It felt like the world was broken. Also... you're so authentic and open about how you feel,and that's awesome.
Keep the faith young man, God has this covered! Thankyou for your support of the first responders and those serving in the military!
Amazing just amazing...
I loved your heartfelt reaction to the video and the events of 9/11
From your lips to God's ear!!! You are a very sweet,, and intelligent young man. Keep up the good work, and may God bless you are your loved ones!!!!!! Much love from Beaumont Tx.
Ok, that song hurt, I have a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes.
Bless you solger. Keep it real. 💪🕆
I was a new young mom. I hugged my baby hoping he would get the chance to live and love...
It still makes me cry. I'm sorry you went through that. Sometimes we NEED to watch this and remember and cry. I love you. ♥️🗽
I love Alan Jackson
You are a precious and beautiful soul, fearfully and wonderfully made. Love from a Grandma 😘❤️
I was 15 when this happened. I grew up on 90s country music. So I'm a big fan of Alan Jackson, this was the first song of his that threw me. Taking what everyone was feeling and putting it into words the way he did.
I love you my friend. Thank you for this beautiful reminder. 🙏💕😇🇺🇸
I love you 2 ❤️ thank you for watching
@@JBLETHALTV - 🙋🏼♀️👍🏻😘💜✌🏼🇺🇸🗽
He is a lovely man. And God made him special. Because he reaches out.🕆
Dang... a scared to death little seven year old... that really struck me. I never thought about how terrifying it would have been to be a little kid when it happened. God Bless.
I was ten. The fear was real. I have never been on a plane and hate to be near a building more than a few floors up.
@@kellylewis6060 wow, I'm so sorry. That's a terrible legacy to live with.
It was even worse being a kid in a town with a nuclear powerplant in our back yard. We did daily drills. We were on the top 10 watch list for multiple years.
@@MikeJones-ox5df damn!
Im 29 now and i still have a fear when i hear a plane near my town
Our country was so beautifully united. We could have done anything. We need that kind of passion now.
This song always brings me to tears. I can't believe it's been 17 years.
I remember being at work and hearing about it...bits and pieces. I am a Canadian and once I got home turned on CNN and sat staring at the TV for the next 8-10 hours in shock and disbelief. Our 2 countries have a unique relationship and every Canadian heart was with you that day. Still get a chill when I see the New York skyline in movies and TV shows that were made before then. A very sad day indeed. ❤️❤️🇨🇦
Amen, we are still one family and families fight. But you attack America you attack us all. Deep down we love each other and WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY. GOD BLESS ALL
What a great song. Beautiful. Thanks for taking it on.
This song always gives me goosebumps.. That day is burned in memory.
I am not a country music fan by any means but this song will always stand out to me. I don’t listen to it often because it makes me emotional but when I do talk about shivers down my spine.
It's cool your listening to one of my fave country singers Alan Jackson like that song.
Like your reaction
And the greatest is LOVE. United we stand. Divided we fall. No more division!
I remember the fear and uncertainty that day, I went and got my kids from school, I needed them close and in my sight that day this song takes me back to that day and still gives me goosebumps, a very true and powerful song still over 20 years later 😢
Don't you wish everyone could feel like this song makes you feel..all the time. That was a perfect song choice..love to you
One of the most important song ever...Alan's authenticity and emotions gave us all some help to get through this time.
I was in my late 30's and I was at work, in a bank, and I was crying....I lost my Mom that year on January 7th, to lung cancer, at age 54, then my mentally disabled cousin died, then my Aunt on my father's side of the family, then my childhood friend who was the same age as me for one week, she had a heart attack and died, leaving two small children, her sister and I are best friends till this day, from kindergarten, we lived two houses apart until 7th grade, but we still all stayed friends, her parents and mine, her brother and her and I. Then 9-11 happened. It was a horrible time. I thought about my own immortality.....I started going to church the following year and got saved. It was the best decision I ever made.
There were alot of songs and poems made during that time. Very well put. You understand....that's good. You tell it.....spread the love in a crazy hate filled time. We need to stand together, for our country and families are friends....for our freedom and liberty. Love that song. It touches the heart.
I'm with you brother! The greatest is love. 1 love. Race is not important humanity is... ❤❤❤
We may fight among ourselves but God help the enemy that makes us come together,we are unstoppable when united.As a grown woman with a son that was a veteran I collapsed and cried for weeks until my son made me turn off the TV,he told me,"Mom,I trust God,you do too."I can only imagine how frightened you were as a little kid.God bless you and I too wish we could all remember we are members of the human race and love each other .
Maxine McClurd , you have a wise son! Thank you for sharing that!
This still gets to me! This country really needs to remember and feel love again
Jb need more people like you that like the old music
My Son joined the Army after that attack! We lost him in Afghanistan in 2012. He told me before he deployed; if anything happened to him; just know I'm doing what I feel I need to do; and want to do for our country! Love and miss you forever; Jesse!
I still cry, I am crying now! I like how you want us to join together, because that is what God wants for us!
what a beautiful song thank you for shoeing this god bless you and america🙏🇺🇸🗽💜💜
Thank you. I agree with you.
As a firefighter and a military family. I would like to say thank you. Your right as well when it comes to the separation that is going on. We need to always be united and be there for one another. Keep up the great work brother and be safe.
16 years since this song came out , I've listened to it countless number of times and I still can't get through this song without tears flowing down my face and I hope I never do.
Alan Jackson wrote this in one night.. to me it's an anthem to that day. Thank you Alan
I can never not cry when hearing this song, losing so many people in such a senseless tragic way. And worse, how quickly we lapsed into the status quo afterwards. We have forgotten those we lost, if we hadn't we would still be united. 🙁🇺🇸
I still can't listen to this song without crying. I was 13 when the towers fell. I was mad, and scared. Now I'm just more patriotic than most. Because we as Americans can get back to the way we treated each other in 2001 after this happened.
I’ll never forget it. I had just got off work at the hospital. Turned tv on and started watching Fox and bam. I knew when the second plane hit the other tower we were being attacked. I called my dad and then my 2 sons. I couldn’t go to sleep couldn’t quit watching tv. I had to work again that night. I felt like our world would never be the same and I was right. Never forget
I was 19 years old and had just had my first born son 2 weeks prior. Living in SC at the time however, born and raised in NY. I sat on my bed watching morning TV as the show I was watching immediately switched to the live broadcast as the 2nd plane flew into the North Tower. I absolutely LOST it! I had no clue what just happened, my mind couldn’t comprehend what my eyes just saw! I just cried and cried. As I held my tiny baby boy and watching smoke billowing from the WTC’s, I knew this was going to leave a gigantic scar on the soul of this country’s people. Along with a massive visible wound in the heart of NYC. I know I will never be the same, nor will all affected by this senseless, unproductive, cruel, infuriating and heart wrenching act displayed upon us.
I was 24yrs old on 9-11 and had just found out that I was pregnant. I remember being frightened about bringing a child into this scary world. This song always gets to me because I remember everything about where I was and what I was doing all day long. I still have nightmares. IT'S THE SCARIEST THING I'VE GONE THROUGH IN MY LIFE! Alan Jackson hit the ball outta the park with this song. I love your channel!! I have since the first video I watched. Keep up the great work!! ☀😊☀😊☀😊☀
This song still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
I was 23 and I cried like a little baby that day...to this day at 40 when I see those images I start crying and I'm a man's man...and I'm not afraid to show emotion about that day.
Thank you for playing and reacting to this. So many souls lost.
I HAVE HEARD THIS SONG I COULDN'T EVEN TRY TO ESTIMATE HOW MANY TIMES... BUT TODAY LISTENING TO IT AND SEEING YOUR REACTION IN YOUR FACE AND IN YOUR EYES, IT'S LIKE I HEARD IT FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH YOU.
YOU CAN'T FAKE WHAT YOUR EYES AND HEART WERE SAYING AND FEELING MY FRIEND... THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS...
But no forgotten.
😭😭😭 I was glued to the television for weeks watching it over and over again. I got woken up by a call from my baby sister freaking out...💔
My youngest son was 6. Thankfully, while in NY, we're upstate, far enough away that they let the little ones have their innocence. I love this song because there were a lot of patriotic but "let's go get 'em' angry country songs following 9/11 and this was more real, more gentle and more"tribute!"
I was there only two blocks away we should never forget. Thanks for the song .it's hard to explain how a young person like you appreciating this song means so much to me
Bless you young man. It does an old lady’s heart so good to see today’s generation talking about loving each other as Jesus commanded us to.
I agree my friend! Praying for the divisiveness to end! God bless you!
This song has really good insights into the the feelings most of us had that terrible day. “In a crowded room did you feel alone? That line really hits hard.
Here we are in 2020 needing this message more than ever. Alan J did a great job on this one. Peace, health & love, everyone.
There hadn't been a war fought on American soil since the Civil War. Sept. 11th for so many of us was a day when we lost that comfortable feeling that we didn't even know we had. I was a police dispatcher and was scheduled to go to work at noon. After staring at the TV for a few minutes I knew I would be needed. The station was an absolute madhouse. One thing none of us will ever be able to say again is, "It'll never happen here."
Sept. 11 was the worst day of my life….but what came after was the most glorious sight to behold. Flags as far as the eye could see. For once in my life, we were truly one nation under god. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I even remember the day I first heard this song. I was a truck driver sitting in completely stopped traffic. It made me cry my eyes out😭💔. I looked around and could see ever person near me in their cars that were listening to the country station. All of us were crying.
As horrible as this attack was. The beauty of unity that we Americans had and other countries sending us love was just amazing. Who knew that by 2022 we'd be in this hateful situation. So sad.
As for 9/11, I was asleep. Mom called me. I turned on the TV and was just in shock and horror. At that time only the first plane hit. My husband was hearing my reaction so he got up, all groggy and thought it was a movie too. He started watching right before the 2nd plane hit. It was then, we knew for sure it was intentional.
God bless you for your thoughts about America today. Yes, we need to love and respect each other every day, not just when we have a tragedy.
GOD BLESS you man. Great Reaction Video. Love the way you think about these songs and in general.
You are a beautiful young man. Wonderful soul.
Thank you for saying that. The greatest thing we have is love. We need to spread love, as a nation not hate. I love your wise words. Many blessings to you.
Thank you young man ! Hearing what you said about you wanting to see this Nation come together without all of the hate and division no matter what it is ! You give this old 66 year old veteran hope for this Naion ! It's young people like you that are the ones that can help others to come together both old and young alike ! Thank you for giving me hope once again !
Alan wrote this immediately after 9/11 & sang it publicly the first time at an awards show on Nov. 7, not quite 2 months after the tragedy. People were stunned.
I love this!!! We will never forget! I love how we all came together as people afterwards and helped people no matter what color etc! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I served in enduring freedom and new dawn. I love you bro. I don't know you but I don't think that matters. You're a fellow American
Thanks for posting this reaction! God Bless you and Stay Healthy and Safe! 🙇🏻♀️🔎❤️🎤🎶👏🏽🇺🇸😉
I saw the first plane, could not believe it. I watched the second plane, and watched it again and again on the news. About 30 minutes later I called to my National Guard unit and asked if they needed people to report, I was told yes. I packed my bag, got dressed, and left. A handful of us was deployed to the bunker area where the governor goes in case of emergency. We got a police escort from the armory to downtown Atlanta. It was unreal, I never thought I would see where the military would take control of certain areas from civilians in this country.
