sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Christian Brendan instablaster =)
Sept 11 was the day I decided to join the army. Served 8 years
Thank you
Thank you for your service and God bless you.
@@dsaasd6300 son, you prove your ignorance.
Josh Hodges Thank you. I considered it but didn’t do it. Don’t know where I’d be or if I’d be had I joined, but I’ll always be thankful for those who have served our country.
Thank ya
As bad as that day was, i wish America could be United again like we were right after.
Mark Cain Your Friend in the Car Business exactly, I would of course never want another 9/11 but the America of 9/12 was beautiful, we were not divided we were simply Americans and we loved one another.
I know where I was. I was onboard USS Enterprise on deployment and we had just left the Persian Gulf. We were first on station and the first to put boot to ass in response to those attacks. This song nails me every time. Thanks for giving it a listen.
Me too, me too.
Generation thing. You should look up the Strauss-How generation theory.
They say there's basically 4 repeating generations.
One of them is "According to Strauss and Howe, the First Turning is a High, which occurs after a Crisis. During The High, institutions are strong and individualism is weak."
Amen brother
RIP to 2,677 victims who died
343 FDNY Firefighters
8 EMTs-Paramedics
23 NYPD Police officers
37 Port Authority Police officers
You are never forgotten!
Amen
And to all those who continue to lose their lives from cancer they got working on the cleanup
Rah 🇺🇸
And ALL on United Flt 93. Who knew what happened...and fought back. Likely saving hundreds of lives in DC.
I was a firefighter on duty that day here in Texas and when the towers fell I said “I hate to say it but I bet we just lost 300 firemen”. It turned out to be even worse than I thought. I was wishing I could go back to 1985 and get my trusty old M-60 machine gun at Ft Polk and do some rat killing. That anger hasn’t left.
Almost 20 years later, and that song still chokes me up. We must never forget, never forget. Peace
we have forgotten. When america elects people like Ilan Omar who clearly hates America and wants Sharia Law
It's a sad fact, most in this country have forgotten. Really makes you question what the F is wrong with people.
i wasn’t even alive at the time, but i can agree this song gets me every time
Have you forgotten by Darryl Worley goes right along with these choker songs. Gets me everytime too. Also If anyone wants to defend the police or military they need to go live in another country. These people should definitely not running the country!!!
Same here!!! Neverforget!!!!!
This song still makes me cry every time I hear it. The pain of September 11th will never go away. I do wish we were still as united as September 12th.
Absolutely AMEN!
The sad thing is, we have forgotten. Forgotten the pain, sadness, forgotten our country, our neighbors. Sad really.
I've never forgotten the pain :( such a horrible tragedy
Yes. After that tragic day. For a short while, race and political ideas didn't matter. There was no black, white, democrat, republican, gay, or straight. For ONCE, we were all just Americans standing together!! Unfortunately, that time is long gone, and we are now MORE divided than ever before.. smh.
Not all of us
Alan Jackson is a True country legend and a class act. Listen to his songs with an ear for the lyrics, he is a master storyteller. Loved this Sushi.
Eric Faulkner you are spot on man. I am a rock/metal fan. Grew up listening to country bc my Dad. AJ has to be one of the best storytellers. Midnight in Montgomery gets me choked up bc Hank. Although I listen to a different genre, Country music has THE BEST lyrics of any music.
This is one of many reasons. He is a living legend.
I was 75 yards from where,at 9, I watched Apollo 11 go to the moon. I see how far we've come,and with present circumstances, how far we've fallen. What is happening to our country? I'm no whiner. I'm a sailor. I've ridden hurricanes, I've fought back to back with friends. When did having a different opinion, make us enemies? God bless America, her troops, and her people. I still love you all. Regardless of your faith, or political position.
On September 11th, 2001 I had just hit my 2 year anniversary of enlisting in the Army. 20 yrs old and seeing what happened I was ready to roll
Alan said he held the pen and God wrote the words...Will never forget seeing people above where the plane hit and they were in the higher floors so they jumped rather than burn...still gives me chills and want to cry
😫😫😫
This country is like a family. We might fight among ourselves, but let somebody else mess with us and we all come together.
This was the number 1 song on CMT's 40 Greatest Songs of the Decade for the 2000s.
I was 13. 5 years later I joined the Marine Corps. Did 2 tours in Afghanistan and 1 in Iraq. Just something I felt I had to do. Love your reactions. Keep them coming.
Thank you for your service, my oldest brother will be a Marine even in death, the next brother and I were Navy, we all served, like you said , something that should be done. Don't know what hell you went through, I know its classified, i was 75-79, Aircraft Electrician A-7s, Lemoore. CA, Med-Cruise CV-42 FDR's last cruise , then a Wes-Pac on CV-63 Kitty Hawk, Nam had ended and got out just before the hostages were taken in Iran, but the 48 month's I was in laid right in a 54 month stretch that there was no overseas conflict, I can only join the American Legion as a son of a Legionier (My Dad was WWII ). I've no regrets, but you had 3 tours in hostile conditions, like I said, thank you for your service. Semper Fi to you and my oldest brother....
@@randycrocker9459 Thank you for your service as well. If I had it to do all over again I would.
Was on vacation time with my new wife (same one for 40yrs now), she came into the bathroom crying and could only point at the TV. Then the phone rang, it was my Sheriff, "Suit up and come in. Don't expect to be home for awhile." He was right.
Alan won Grammy Award for this song...
He just sang this at his concert in El Paso, and it was amazing seeing everyone singing along then proceeding to chant usa. Definitely makes me proud to be an American.
Seabreezy, and all the cell phone lights swaying with the music. Most people standing.
To this day, my chest gets tight and my eyes start to water whenever I see replays. I was at work and my mom called to tell me what happened. I didn't believe her. 😥
I was on my 15 min. break at work when I saw the report. A couple mins. before my break ended, I saw the 2nd plane fly into the 2nd building. I too start tearing up when I see the replays.😢
It does that to me too. I was a senior in high school and I didn't wake up on time that day. When I got up I turned on the tv and the first plane had just hit. It was unreal.
I was 5 years old and my grandma was babysitting my sister and I. I had afternoon kindergarten and my mom called and told her not to send me to school. I obviously didn't realize how serious it was at the time but it's still one of my earliest memories that's still vivid to this day.
I cry every time
I still remember that day! The fear of not knowing. I drove to my grandparents house and sat there with them to just feel the comfort and feel safe. I swear everytime I hear it I still cry.
September 11th 2001...I was in 5th grade...it was my 11th birthday. 18 years later it's still hard to celebrate with remembering that day. All I ask for every year since then is for everyone that to just give their family an extra hug, maybe an extra kiss, say I love you one more time, shake your co-workers hand one more time, ask how their family is doing, give a smile to a complete stranger and to never forget
Where was I? In 6th grade, I was in the hospital waiting room, with a broken leg and my mom. So glad she was there, I couldnt understand what was happening. Was stressing whether we were going to be attacked. We live next to one of the biggest ports in the Gulf, lots of oil, food, textiles, everything. Was scared. The replays still get me to this day. The helplessness I felt as a child come back.
9-11 will be a horrible date for everyone. Every year when it comes around it makes us relive it again. Never Forget!
@@dsaasd6300 Says you. As Darryl Worley sang from a few years later, "Have You Forgotten?" the meaning of national, patriotic pride & defending your own?
@@dsaasd6300 Yes & no. Respects begets respect, it's true, but someone has to show it first for most to follow suit. So, are you gonna wait for any respect to be shown to you or will you be the bigger person to show respect to others first?
Kesley Cottrell I still cry
@@dsaasd6300 guess what people from other countries also felt some type of way when they saw this happen. So the comment of not the top 10 saddest things is ill posted
I was in Marine Corps Boot Camp on that day... that's a feeling I could never forget.
Thank you both for protecting our country and most of all I'm thankful you both made it home. God bless your brothers and sisters who didn't.
Couldn’t imagine that school circle front quarter deck
@@BAMCIS13450703 Actually, my platoon was getting issued our rifles in that little armory warehouse, all the lights on the island go dark, and scuttlebutt starts coming down the line, and I laughed - because I heard some idiot flew his Cessna into one of the towers. After waiting for a while back in the barracks, standing on the line, my SDI told us, and took the 5 guys who had family working there in the office to call home (95% of my platoon, 1074, was from NY and NJ). One lost his mother, took 2 weeks bereavement - right out of Basic - and came back, but to another platoon. After standing at attention on the line for about four and a half hours, my Battalion went outside, grouped by our series', and the chaplain and some Major I didn't know stood there and lead a prayer and sang a hymn - which bothered me because he couldn't sing well at all. But things weren't too different after that, since you're in so much pain 24hrs a day, there isn't much brain power left to contemplate anything. My SDI actually spoke Arabic, so he said he might see some of us in the desert. I'd like to say it brought us together in some big halftime locker room speech type fashion, but it was Parris Island, and all we wanted to do was sleep. I actually didn't see pictures or news reports of 9-11 until our SDI showed us a newspaper about a month afterwards. So, in a way, it never happened for me the way it did for the rest of the country. The truth is, since Boot Camp was so insane and surreal, it just felt like more of the same. Strange time.
@Harley Morgan Thank you for rockin that hat.
That day is etched in memory. That song is word for word about why it happened. God. Family. Country. Thank you Mr Jackson. Thank you Sushi for your reality and truth in emotions.
I was workin two doors down from the comedian Drew Carey's childhood home in Parma, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland....in fact, the plane that went down in Pennsylvania changed their direction directly overhead of Cleveland, the jets scrambled from that area, sent to intercept that airliner....I enlisted a week later, ended up in Iraq, Basra 03 Fallujah 04, with my brothers in the US Army Armored Corps.... Hooah
I start tearing up as soon as I see the title of this song. I remember the first time he sang this song. My whole family cried like a baby. 😭🇺🇸😍
I am a retired Fire Fighter, the NYFD lost 343 brothers and sisters that day. They lost more Fire Fighters in one hour than their previous 50 years. If you came to work that day in New York and were assigned to one of the 5 Rescue units, You died. They lost them all May the rest in peace. John 15:13
Alan did such a beautiful thing writing and sharing this song with us. As for me, I was one month away from turning 40, working for a courier company and driving around metro Atlanta delivering packages while listening to "The Regular Guys" radio show on 96 Rock. They were taken by what started showing up on the tv monitors in the studio and relayed details like a play-by-play description of a baseball/football game... My last delivery that morning before my dispatcher said we were closing for the day and "go home and be with your family" was to the CEO of Delta Airlines at Hartsfield International Airport (the busiest airport in the world at the time), and I remember what an ominous feeling it was to drive through downtown ATL on the way there and not seeing a single airplane in the sky, which NEVER was the case! I was a Private Pilot at the time with just 108 hours in my Logbook, and that event definitely inspired me to get my advanced Certificates/Ratings and pursue aviation as a career. I did that and enjoyed logging 8,200+ hours over the next 17+ years. Great reaction, God Bless America, and may we NEVER FORGET!!!
I was working at a truck plant in Minnesota . When I went to work , the breakroom was packed , all waiting for shift change . We didn't look each other in the eyes , and nobody said a word . This country went into shock . Never forgive , never forget .
I spent ten years in the Army. I lost three friends in the Pentagon that day, and two in New York.
I still miss them all.
I nannied twin boys, their mom was in the Pentagon that day. The Marine Corps museum has pieces of the towers and Pentagon on display, we went one day and they instantly at 2 years old went to the Pentagon block, I snapped a picture of them touching it (as we were allowed to) their mother said it gave her chills. It was a stark reminder that these beautiful children wouldn't have been here had she been in the immediate area, and of the children who lost parents.
I was in 1st grade. I remember hiding under our desks with the tv up loud to drown out the parents outside screaming for us. Our parents weren’t allowed to come in, we had all windows and doors locked up tight. My moms work was also on lock down, but all her coworkers snuck her out of work to come to me. Parents had to prove who they were with security before picking us up. When we finally got home there was a huge boom and our whole down freaked thinking we were being attacked, we have a huge defensive base in our hometown. But we later found out it was president bush landing on base, it was a sonic boom from his plane. That night we all drove to Columbus to my grandmas and just cried and watched the news. We baked cookies and dinner for her neighbors and a doggie meal for the old blind pup next door who I was terrified of. But we got along that day
Living in Arlington, VA,many of us heard the plane hit the Pentagon that morning. watching TV earlier, we knew what was happening. Changed all of our lives forever.
This song was written in the middle of the night he was asleep and he awoke to write this
“Where were you (When the world stopped turning)” was actually dedicated to the family’s of the firefighters who died on 9/11/01
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was at work in a state park, we had just picked up some tool and were about to reroute a trail when we stopped at the visitors center for water, We walked in and the news was on all three TV's. It was my oldest daughters birthday and we were planning a surprise party later that night. The whole day our thoughts were consumed with the impact it had on our country and all those people. My daughter asked to cancel the party, we didn't be4cause I still wanted to celebrate her birth but we did call everyone and told them it was cancelled so we spent her birthday talking about everything we were grateful for and take advantage of. It's hard for her to celebrate now because every year on 911 the news, TV and internet are talking about it and remembering those poor people who lost their lives. So every year she remembers them in some way on her birthday.
I was a 25 year old U.S. Army Reserve soldier, Making up a drill day I had missed earlier in the year.
I knew exactly where I was headed as we watched the second plane hit live on TV.
Fast forward to the following October and we were moving our equipment to port. It was bound for Kuwait and the rest is history.
I can remember where I was that day when I heard the news. 7th grade English class, we were all working on group projects when the teacher turned on the news, a few minutes later we saw the second plane hit. Classes weren't really held that day, everyone just watched the news or was waiting to make a phone call from the front office to reach parents to see if their loved ones who worked in the towers were alright. Cell phones were so jammed that day that no calls were really getting out.
Edit: The horror of seeing the towers actually fall in real time didn't really hit until later.
Joe Nichols "I'll wait for you" is another great one
Im 33 years old i was ten years old when 9/11 happened and it still brings tears to my eyes may all of the innocent people who passed on that day rest in peace 🙏
I was getting out of the shower,still dripping wet getting ready for child support court.I don't know if you know him,but the actor Steve Buscemi ,was a fireman many years ago.Became an actor and quit the fire department.When 911 happened,he went back to the fire department and worked 12 hour shifts digging through rubble saving people's lives and recovering remains.He did it quietly and without the press's knowing anything about it.If you don't know who he is,look him up.
September 12th when we out aside our differences and came together. Its sad it took something like that to bring us together. I wish we could get back to that mindset of caring for each other like that without having to have another tragedy to make that happen.
hopefully your wish will come true as we are all going through this uncertainty time
You won't get that from government, but people still follow them like mindless sheep, Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, etc. they are all the same, what's in it for them and the benefit of themselves. People need to stop looking to politicians as leaders and for advice on how to live their lives cause none of them are leaders and they all hate you and me no matter what side they are on. They are united on dividing us everyday
🇺🇸 we have our problems but after that day WE WERE A UNITED STATES of AMERICA ... at least for awhile... and it was Really Wonderful...we could be like that all the time again if we would all make the decision to do so ❤️
I will NEVER get that day out of my heart and head. Sat alone on my bed crying and screaming. Why? My sister was a stewardess for American Airlines and for hours we had no idea if she was on the plane. Thank God she was not but my heart breaks for all the victims and loved ones. God please bring peace back.
911 was an unbelievable tragedy. This song is heartfelt. Soo many innocent people just vanished.
We did not all react to this event in the same way. That is what made this song so valuable. It brought together all of the different ways we reacted and helped to make us one.
I was working at WKU that day and they pulled us into the auditorium and put it on the tv's and everyone was in disbelief and crying when we watched the second plane hit. I signed up for the Marines 4 hours later.
I lived in the UK at the time, & ofcourse in a state of shock. So many people gone, & families broken-hearted. Alan Jacksons really did sing this emotionally to all the people passed away, & families & friends lost without them. R.I.P. to all the families & friends. xxx
Alan Jackson is awesome. I was working in Union City, Indiana and would not believe it was happening.
This song really hit home the first time I heard it. I remember in vivid detail what I did on that day, even conversations I had with others.
1st Corinthians 13:13 KJV
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE.
i was a firefighter, in a city far from new york, when the towers fell we all fell to our knees knowing our brothers were gone
My man!! Alan Jackson may be a simple singer if simple songs but they are songs I relate to. If country music is what you want ge us your man because he gives you the real thing. Great vid!!!
I was asleep when the first plane struck its target. I woke before the second plane hit. I watched all alone in my bed. I reached for the phone, and called my mom. I said, is it real? Then we were silent, just watching. I was so terribly sad for many months after. They kept playing Lee Greenwood's song God Bless the USA, and I would ball my eyes out every time.
I was still living at home with my parents and my dad had took off work that morning and woke me up and says son a plane has just hit the World Trade Center as I walk down the stairs and looked at the TV I could not believe what I was seeing
I know a firefighter that was on scene,he made it out, a heavy equipment operator that worked there for the clean up. Also know some people that had family members that died in the towers.
Six months before 9-11 I was on the observation deck at the top of 1 of the towers, Still have a pic of me looking out the narrow window towards the empire state building.Still hard to imagine people were jumping out :(
alan jackson is the goat
Alan Jackson has one of my favourite voices of all time, his voice is like golden honey.
Just got off a 12 hour shift in the USAF on that day. Life got very interesting after that.
Same for me but I got off of an 8 hr shift...at nellis AFB at 10pm and kicked my days off by going out and drinking all night...got back to my bed at 430am...630est...wasnt long when my mom called me and told me bout the first plane...being drunk and lack of sleep I dismissed it in a few secs hung up and went to sleep. She called again bout the second one...i was half way paying attention...she called a 3rd time...said Pentagon got hit...i said ok im getting dressed now...5 min later the sarge was banging on my door telling me where to report and said we just got attacked...my reply was "I know my mom just told me"....so yeah the next 45 days str8 sucked. I was security forces
Thanks for your service brother much love from a soldier here
Heading into work after PT US Army Fort Campbell and yes it got a little interesting for a bit
I was wishing I could reenlist.
I was a munitions systems specialist. "AMMO". Bombs were our business and we got really busy.
I remember it happening, I was in the 8th grade. And just like you said Sushi, I remember all huddling around the TV in class.. back when classroom TV'S were hauled into the class on those 2 shelf metal carts on wheels.. damn I think I'm getting old!
I was at home and dropped to my knees and cried and went to church to pray with others.😞💗
I'm a U.S. Soldier and I was at ground zero 5 hrs after the first tower fell. I spent the next 4 days helping with the rescue efforts. What I saw, heard, and smelled. I will never forget. I am still in touch with many of those I pulled from the rubble.
Ahh...Im not alot on country but I love Allen Jackson...I was watching it on the TV at work
First of all, I can never listen to this song without tearing up. Second, if you want to listen to a song that has a good message, please listen to Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying"
This brought the whole country back from the edge!!! I remember when he sang it for the first time on that award show!!!! This is one of the most best songs ever!!!! Love Alan Jackson
When I first heard that song I was crying . When it says did you call up your mother to tell her you love her. That made me cry because my friend was in the tower when the first tower was hit she called home to let her family know she was ok and no one heard from her again. She was considered a hero by the news. She stayed behind to help people out of the building. Even though she could have gotten out herself, she was in the second tower when it went down.
I lost my great aunt in the towers attack, she was on the 82nd floor of tower 2.
I was in Vegas for a Baker's convention, when I got home on Saturday that's when I learned about my great aunt.
I remember vividly my teacher telling me, that one of the twin towers had been hit, I looked at my watch then her, said "it's 7:30am and I haven't had my first cup of coffee yet, this is no time to be joking", then the convention center turned on the news and I literally fell to my knees in shock. I was 21 yrs old
This song captures all the different reactions to that terrible day. Love Alan Jackson. Please react to his video Remember When, a great tribute to his wife and family. It’s so relatable to us all. You won’t be disappointed ❤️❤️❤️
Watch Alan Jackson stroll across heaven
Just watched him do this one live for his farewell tour on September 10th, and the entire audience stood up in Rupp Arena and there wasn't a hat on in the crowd. So proud to be in this country sometimes. I wish we could all just put aside our differences and live in moments like that.
You should have watched the live version when he sang it at the CMA awards show. Not long after the attacks. I cried so much. Thank Sushi.
You need to watch Kenny Chesney WHO'D YOU BE TODAY.
That song is close to me. I lost my son, Joshua Orion Rico, to alcoholism. Im an alcoholic myself, last drink was 13 years and 19 days....and counting. I thought i could save my son. I couldn't. Thanks again Sushi.
Peace and love
I am so sorry Aaron got your loss. I can not imagine the pain. Stay strong and let God guide you.
@@bobby-ov9qn thank you Sir. I appreciate your comment and blessings. As you, may god bless and keep you and your family safe.
I was working as a Systems Admin on a WindowsNT server farm. We had a bunch of huge TVs that normally showed server status. They got switched to various news stations (Fox, CNN and BBC).
Alan Jackson livin on love
I was in English class in 9th grade we watched it unfold as a class and our teachers all day threw out the lessons because it became the lesson don't take what you have for granted love and protect what you have now
9/10/01 was the last good day America ever had. It hasn't been the same since.
Remember the day and months after. Where did that America go to?
Hi, I'm an old man and I have watched as many of your reactions that I could find, I love the fact that you watch all music from Elvis to country and by the way I love Elvis, keep up the good work.
Bill, Elvis and Alan Jackson are my two all time favorites. I have excellent taste!!! 🙂 they are both very special to me. This is kind of a silly comment! 😎🤠
@@janetgiddings5538 nothing silly about it, thanks for the reply
I had joined the army national guard 19 July 2001 and was working in a casket factory stripping paint off of a lid so it could be repaired and repainted when I heard the news on the radio and instantly cried for the people that were working their everyday jobs and the first responders who didn't hesitate to go in
"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ...Now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
That's straight up from the Bible in 1 Cor. 13 and it's a lesson we still need to this day. Think of all the love songs written in this world and the good things people do for one another, but we are still so lacking in love. Whether it's not valuing our family, not respecting our countrymen, or just straightup hating our enemies... God is love, and oh how we need Him to teach us.
I recommend “have you forgotten” by Darryl Worley I think that’s his name. ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
My father was a volunteer Firefighter for 20 years. When this happened he'd retired but I was an adult and hadn't really had a job path as far as a career, I started my career shortly afterwards doing Security in Houston.
When he wrote this he was just writing his feelings at the time. At some point he shared with some people and they asked why haven't you recorded this, he said he didn't want to profit or gain notoriety from something like that, it was friends and family that convinced him to make the song, saying that it was a beautiful and powerful tribute to everything from that terrible day. Alan Jackson has got to be one of the most humble and honorable celebrities there is, in a arena thats full of egomaniacs and narcissists. Thank you Mr. Jackson....
Randy, If I remember right, some or all proceeds from this song went to charities to help victims, etc. Thank goodness they convinced him to share it!!! Fans still expect him to perform it at his concerts!
That sounds like what Mr. Jackson would do in this situation. We all do remember where we were and what we were doing when the world stop turning that September Day. I was a child when Kennedy was assassinated but remember news reports and tv coverage of the funeral (vaguely, I had just turned 6). I remember going to my sister's house and she was crying when Reagan got shot. Typical Reagan when taking him in to OR he looked at the doctors and said "I hope your not all Democrats ". But yes I think Mr. Jackson has more class than a whole lot of people, especially today's politicians and the idiots rioting and looting, morons.
definitely do Alan Jackson "sissys song" absolute banger🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Sushi, we can’t forget...
I was an Active Duty Marine when 9/11 happened. I lived out of my bags for about a month waiting to deploy.
We can never forget. This song is Alan jackson feelings of Sept 11,2001. The first responders, workers at their respective jobs and the passengers on the airplanes who died.
I remember exactly where I was. I worked the graveyard at a casino and my husband had just come to pick me up. He pointed to on of the tv's hanging from the casino ceiling and I saw the first plane crash. I thought it was a movie at first. we went down to the break room and sat watching in horror with other employees. we were all in shock and the room was so silent.
I was in 5th grade, they turned on the tv. I remember thinking it was a movie. I was 10
I remember watching this when he first performed it.. I lost 343 brothers and sisters that day.
September 11th, 2001. I was stationed in Germany. An 8 hour difference. For us it was early afternoon when we got the report to go back to our rooms in the barracks. I watched live at that second plane hit the trade center. My blood boiled. I ate my dinner and waited for the formation call. When it came I was ready. My roommate and I were given the first shift guarding our motorpool. 12 hours we were out in the elements, getting cold and sick. Yet we were undeterred. We held fast to our duty. The years that followed brought a lot of heartache...turmoil. It still does. I lost great friends. I have seen you reacting to other videos for veterans. Thank you. I was homeless for a time. I lost 2 marriages. I even attempted to take my own life. What I have learned is that even though they are gone, they live on in us, so we must live on for them.
I still can't watch those buildings falling when I come across replays, I switch channels. Heartbreaking.

This event made me rejoin the army after an 18 year break so I could deploy. I ended up in Iraq in 2010-11. Was shot at, motored and had RPGs fired at us.
I was getting ready for work that Tuesday morning when I saw the news and froze. Didn't go to work for 2 days. I cried in anger.
I still have anger in me from those attacks.
20 years have passed and it seems people have forgotten the love we had for our neighbors after 9/11.
I wasn’t born until four years later but I wish the us could come together like that again now
Lol ur husband trying quietly rumble around it the background had me snickering keep think about wat snacks he could hunting lmao
I do remember that day I was sitting in a mental hospital I seen this broke down lost my composure
I remember waking up to get ready for school after a late work night. My friend from college called me completely terrified. I went to school & received the call from my guard unit a few hours later.
i had to spend a few days fighting my rage and the urge to take out every mosque within a hundred miles. 4 bottles of whiskey , many bass eaten, lot of wood chopped and reading of the bible kept me from letting the rage loose. i thank god each for that.
You should do remember when by him....beautiful song..nevermind I see you did already great job
Hey Sushi, been trying to get someone to react to Josh Weathers - I Will Always Love you, and Mind, Body, Soul. You will be amazed! Keep the videos coming love them!
Not many of us know the greatness of Josh Weathers. What a voice. Love that guy
I will never forget waking up with my base on full lock down and a month and a half later deploying 4 months early to go to the gulf. hope I never feel that much anger again in my life.
You will find that in our diversity lies our greatest weakness, you see us fight and squabble about petty issues while ignoring poignant problems of importance thinking us shallow or uninformed.
Yet our diversity is also our greatest strength. we fight like brothers and sisters and love the same way. In times of national tragedies, you will see that beneath the shallow materialistic media influenced exterior is a citizen with a resolve of steel. You will find us to be some of the most giving people in the world, yet at the same time, we can be exceptionally tough and self-reliant when our nation is attacked or struck by national tragedy.
you see us gather around and stare up at our torn and tattered flag. it is because that flag represents to us the promise we have made to each other "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."
Our national strength does not lie in buildings of glass and steel, nor of monuments of bronze. our monuments are for those who have fallen, remembrance of their sacrifice. not the glory of our military might. Jets, bombs, aircraft carriers are but tools. The power of our nation comes from one source you can knock down as many buildings and bridges as you want.. but until you understand these 3 words you won't understand Americans.
WE THE PEOPLE.
