The ache continues for their families and the loss of loved ones in this attack can never be soothed. Never ever, ever, EVER forget. Enjoy Alan's concert. I'm sure you'll shed a few tears. The greatest is love.

    I was cleaning in the rental office waiting room. the TV was on. Large screen TV I stopped the vacuum when I saw smoke coming from the tower. I turned up the sound. My heart sunk. I walked to the office and said come and see this, it's important. I was listening to the astonishment the grief in the newsmen's words. I watched as the second plane hit. I watched during my lunch break and started to cry as the towers began to collapse. I will never forget. I excused myself to make an important call to find out where a pilot I knew was that day. They answered he is fine. That was a huge relief. But I was still in shock for the audacity of it, the loss of life, the scale of the attack. I will never forget how I felt that day.
    Here in the city where I went to school the staff of a Lutheran church next door to a Mosque stood around it to protect it from hate crimes because news was saying that terrorists from the Middle East had attacked the towers. It was just hearsay. Christians stood around the Mosque to protect the peaceful Muslims inside. This is America. We take care of each other. People who have faith should live it. They did. They still do.
    A van full of a restaurant baseball team was coming back from a game on the east coast when they heard the news on the radio. They turned around and drove to ground zero as fast they could to provide food for the survivors and first responders. I was so proud to work for them.
    Those are my 9/11 stories. Thanks for asking. One of the things I love about country music, its the I love my country theme, the songs that are national anthems. This is one of the best.

Another thing that hit us was the stories of people we knew from work that missed their flights the day before that would've been in the towers when it happened if they hadn't missed their flights. I will never forget the evil that attacked and murdered those in the buildings, surrounding areas and planes.

    I was a senior in HS when 9/11 happened. I remember when this song came out and the impact it had on everyone. 20 years later it still has an impact. Hard to believe that the events of that morning would change the lives of so many and set our lives on such unbelievable paths. I served in both Iraq and Afghanistan as a result of that day.

      My son had been in the Army since 1990 right after graduation. He had just discharged when this all happened. He immediately re enlisted, only in National Guard. He stayed until after hitting a road bomb and ending up with Combat Related Familial ALS. Still a Staff Sgt the day he passed. We knew so many men AND women who quickly and quietly went to their local recruiters. I honestly wish it didn't take such a big catastrophe to hold this country together in pride and the love thy neighbor we had following 9/11.
