- Where were you on that day? We should never forget how we came together at the cost of so may innocent people. I wish we could all feel that unity and patriotism without such a tragedy.

Asa thank you for your service for our Country. Thank you to all that have served or are serving.
Y'all honestly have the most beautiful home!! It looks so calm and comfy...LOVE!!❤
Asa and Priscilla, thank you for asking people what they remember. It has been inspiring to read the accounts from people all over. We only have one thing in common, we love your channel, but that makes us the same.
I was at college on a break and grabbing lunch with my mom. We live in South Africa but everyone was watching the news and there were very few dry eyes. We were all shocked and horrified. Y'alls pain became our pain that day. So many dead for no reason.
Thank you for your caring, from an American to you and yours❤
Thank you for commemorating 9/11. It was the most vivid memory of my childhood watching that gut wrenching tragedy unfold. Years later, on 9/11, we lost Americans in Benghazi. That sick feeling returned. October 7, 2023 was another day when everyone knows where they were when they learned about the atrocities.
I worked for a third party market research company at Disney’s Epcot center, I received a call to remove all my personnel from Disney Property immediately. We needed to leave all parks and hotels. NO other info. Ran to a break room and for the first and only few times in my life, speechless. I recall one of my subcontractors falling to his knees as I told him. His 2 sons worked at the Pentagon. His pain became my pain. All these years later I choose to remember our joy 6 hours later when he heard from BOTH his sons. SAFE! May we NEVER forget.
Glad they are safe had family go down in the Pennsylvania field they are hero’s they saved lots of lives that day.
I know someone who was in the pentagon when it was hit. He survived.
This comment and its reply brought instant tears to me! I was in a rush to get home that morning and I didn’t realize anything had happened. I was only 20 and my car radio was only broadcasting the news, so rather than listen, I switched it to CD and I drove for 3.5 hours, clueless. When I walked in the house, my mama yelled at me for making her worry because I didn’t stop and let her know I was safe. (I didn’t have a cell phone so I didn’t call her before I left) I still had no idea what was going on. Then she pointed at the TV.
MY HEART SANK!
I immediately called my former boss, whom I knew was taking numerous employees to NYC. He said he’d seen it all happen from his hotel room, which was just a few miles away. Absolutely horrific! 💔
My cheer mate loss her father and stepmother in the Pentagon and my mom worked near
Never forget 🙏💐💐💐💐💐💐🙏
I was substituting at our local high school. we watched it all happen on the tv. I cried along with the children.
As a Canadian, I stand with you all. The world, as we knew it, has not been the same, since. I find it very sad that we, Canadians, need a passport to get in to the US, now. We were so closely united, we didn't one. How incredibly sad. It almost felt to me, I can't speak for my fellow Canadians, lost a sibling. I will NEVER forget where I was, that horrible morning, when one of my fellow workers said, "Look at the big picture. Welcome to world war 3, ladies and gentlemen". Those were his chilling, exact words. Only love can drive hate out. I pray for peace and unity.
I moved from New Zealand to the UK and was working at a holiday camp. Was watching it live on TV and rang my parents back in NZ to turn on the news. It was the first time I couldn’t get home to NZ at all. Home never felt so far away.
on behalf of Canadians, we will never forget for you also.
We so appreciate Canada and your towns and cities that kept and hosted all those stranded.
TY🤝
Thank you. We United as countries across the world during that time. We need to unite again but without a terrorist attack this time.
@@MadeaNH for sure.
I'm in the UK and I can still remember it clearly. I was off school ill and had slept in. I came down stairs once I woke up to get a drink and my mum had the news on and it was just as the second plane hit the second tower. I literally laid on the sofa all day just watching the news with my mum. My brothers and sister finished school and college early that day. We all just sat at home waiting for my dad to get home from work which took longer as all the offices were closing just as safety precautions. That and 7/7 in the uk are days i dont think i'll ever forget.
It was my 50th birthday. I hadn’t gotten my vehicle tabs so I went to get them. I found a note on a business next door to the Secretary of State. “Due to the country problems we have closed. I went to my vehicle and turned on the radio. The second tower was just hit! My better half was in Canada , our son was at community college and by the time I got home so was he. What should have been the best day of my life turned sour! 10 years later my great niece was born on my birthday, now that turned 9-11 into a wonderful day. I am blessed to wake up every day in a country that is free of war. May it always be that way!
I agree our country just gets more & more divided
Home. I remember afterwards how everyone was so kind to each other.
I was in New York working in the hospital. For us……. This day will live in our minds forever. We Will Never Forget. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Prayers for all those who lost our Brothers, Sisters, Moms, Dads and so many more.
I was in 8th grade American History class. Our teacher would always start class with us watching the news. We watched the second tower get hit, live. Right there, sitting at our desks. The principal called us all into the gym, by grades, and told us “an act of w*r has happened on our soil” and sent us all home. My parents were sitting on the couch, mom half ready for work and my stepdad still in his suit and tie. They were weeping (makes me cry typing that). I dropped my backpack next to their brief cases sitting by the door and just dove face first into them on the couch. We sat there most of the day crying and praying together.
I was working, shopping for my office when people started talking about an airplane accident in NYC. By the time I got back to my office my Dad called to tell me what happened & then I watched at my office as the second plane hit. Still incomprehensible.
RIP to all those who lost their lives then & since.
My mom was watching the news and saw the second plane hit as well. I remember I was getting ready for school and I heard my mom screaming that we had been attacked. I was a kid thinking that she had over slept and woke up from a nightmare. I’m sure everyone wishes that it was just a horrible nightmare, especially all the victims of the day.
I was a junior in college & classes were canceled so my roommates and I stayed glued to the tv in our living room all day & night. Never forget! 🇺🇸
Thank you for doing this remembrance of 911!!
It was my day off so me and my dog slept late, mom was at work around 11:20 she called and I laughed and said to my dog that grandma was calling to see if we wanted her to pick up lunch and we instead she told me to turn on the tv and I did and saw all the destruction!! Couldn’t believe it!! Shock and tears!!
It was strange for so long.. we live not too far from an airport and for days complete silence!! Not a single plane in the air!!
On the tv every day was coverage of the disaster…
Bless all of the innocent people that lost their lives and bless their families!!!😢
I was at home.I will never forget it.
Thank u for your service. I seen everything on tv I was a kid and in shock about what had happened. Thankfull that all my family was safe felt bad for other families. Such a warm feeling when everyone comes together for others.
I walked into work right after the first plane hit. I truly wish we could get back to the unity we felt for the days, weeks and months after.
Myself being a firefighter for 7yrs and got a Neice on the spectrum. I just want to say thank you for your service and thank you for the videos!
I was a nanny and watched it all happen on live TV. 😮 It was so scary because you didn't know what else was going to happen. I called my Mom at work and they started watching it... praying for everyone who lost loved ones and everybody affected 🙏🙏
Thank you we needed this
I was home that morning. Heading to the school to volunteer. I was devistastated watching the second plane go into the tower. I had to get to my children and hold them. Our world 🗺 changed that day forever. Blessings always family.😢😢😢
I was home with my 1 1/2 year old and our oldest son was in school. My husband is a firefighter and was moments away from being called to respond. Thank you for your service and support.
I was at college and when I tried to call my mom and I couldn’t get through to her for an hour I was so scared watching the news I will never forget that day!
I was a sophomore in high school, sick at home when it happened. Watched it all happened on the tv. Never forget, never forgotten.
I live in the uk, I remember switching on the television to watch the news. It was transmitting live seeing the second plane hit the tower, straight away I knew it was a deliberate act. These disasters will always be remembered. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was 24, at work at a shell station and heard it live on the radio. Had a lot of stressed costumers. My dad was an Airline pilot at that time, worked in USA. It hit hard. I'm Norwegian.
I was a telemarketer and was on the phone with a little old lady who was right across the water and could see the towers out her window. That lady was so scared as I talked to her while it happened I got my supervisor over to listen in to the call. In less than 30 seconds she had everyone off the phones and sent us all home. I stayed in my apartment glued to the TV for like 3 days in pure shock. I was 21 years young and I thought war had come to America soil and I was so scared.
My mom and I had just dropped my youngest at day care and were headed to the hospital as I was having day surgery when were heard about the first plane hitting the tower...I was checked in and watching the TV when the 2nd plane hit and watched both towers fall and then was wheeled into OR for surgery. It was scary to think what might happen while I was out...I couldn't wait for my kids to come home after school/day care and hugged my boys tight knowing that there were people that wouldn't be able to hug theirs. I live in Canada...but this tragedy brought nations closer together.
I was in 8th grade Language Arts class, and 5he principal came and told the teacher what had happened.😭 We watched the news all evening. It was so sad to see the ones trying to escape the building. The unity of our 🇺🇲 country was awesome to witness, though.
I will never forget! 🥺
My youngest son was 2 and we were on our way to the mall until it was broadcasted on the radio. My other two kids were in school and I remember greeting them at the door so upset. 😢❤
I was 7 when it happened and I remember our school having us all watching it on the news.
I was at work at a Mental Health Clinic in rural West Virginia. My husband was home asleep, being on the night shift. A patient came in and asked if we had a radio or TV. She told us the U.S. was under attack. It was so heartbreaking. We could hardly get anything done the rest of the day for listening to the radio. We felt so paralyzed and helpless.
I'm in the UK and I just happened to switch my TV on just after it had happened to watch something else and it was on the news on every channel. My heart just broke for America that day. I will never forget.
I did the same thing I switched the TV because I wanted to see what else was on and then I saw the planes hit the buildings.
We were on holiday in Mayorca,came up from the pool,put the telly on to see a plane crashing in to a tall building.Went on the balcony to tell our neighbours (friends) to put their telly on.I shouted in to them ,it looks like America is at war.Every where we went that night,every telly in the town had the same thing on.We were told by the reps when we were ready to come home to be vigilant.We were flying back to England.
I remember calling my family member who was visiting in that area and was so happy he called me back right away as he is never one to call back
Living in Colorado, sitting in my living room with a baby, and toddler. I felt the same helplessness I did the day of the Columbine shooting. It was horrible.
I was a 10 year old kid on the west coast of Canada and I remember being really scared. We didn’t know what was happening or the magnitude of it all. We drew cards that week and sent them to New York. A distinct feeling that the world as we knew it had changed. The more I learn about it as an adult the more I realize how horrifically scary it must have been for the States ❤
Amen! I soo wish we could get that unity back
I had just got my daughter on the bus for 3rd grade. And my son’s were in middle school. My neighbor came over and told me what was going on. We sat and watched it all day. I’m 62 now. And that is a day I will never forget. Just so heartbreaking. 😢
Very hard to forget. I was on strike that day I worked at a government building. I saw on the TV the first plane and stood there in shock when the second plane hit. I was in tears not knowing what was going on. I got there to do my shift and they told us to go home
I'll never forget my coworker (in Calif) told us her husband, a missionary, was in NYC that day for a meeting scheduled for 10am at the Twin Towers, i believe an hour after the 1st plane hit. As for my family, my sister called, waking us up, asking if we knew what was going on, we proceeded to watch with our kids(8 & 10 yrs old) as the 2nd plane hit. Pure shock, sadness & lots of tears. Went to work as usual (as a teachers aide at an elementary school) & it was very difficult trying to answer questions the kids had, since im sure their parents were in as much shock & confusion as the rest of us. 🙏🇺🇸
I was 18, alone in the waiting room of my last doctors appt, 2 weeks before we had our first son. Very emotional, the only I can remember thinking is what world are we bringing him into.
I think about it everytime around his birthday.
I live in London but I was in Orlando at the time. My mum worked at Heathrow airport at the time as a security guard. My hubby was playing golf with an American airline employee and he go5 th3 news from the club house . Will never forget
I was 32 years old teaching HS kids. We just stared at the class tv in shock. Being a grownup in a room of 25 teens is always tough, but this experience was daunting. We talked, prayed and cried together.
I worked for a Mortgage Company. I was thirty-three years old. I was in my car on the way to work, I turned on my car radio and heard about the plain crashing. My heart stopped! This was also my Grandmothers last birthday. I now have the memory of 911 but that my Grandmother shared a birthday with such a horrible memory for our Country.
Unfortunately, yes that catastrophe made us more united than ever. And now we’re more divided than ever. It’s insane.
I was working from home and saw it live. Just devastated…
I was with my Dad who was in the ICU in Atlanta. His fever was spiking and it was hard to get the nurses attention - they were hearing/watching what was happening. I can't imagine how overwhelmed the NYC/NJ ICU's were - they already had lots of patients to care for and then to add on all the 911 victims. I was praying for all in NY and praying for my Dad.
I was at work riding to school on a bus as a monitor on Long Island in New York. Rest In Peace to all who perished.
I am in Ireland but I also remember the day, and my heart aches for Americans. It was afternoon, and I was driving home from work with poor radio coverage, but I heard partial information. As soon as I got home I switched the TV on and my (now) husband and I watched, dumbfounded. The world united in your grief that day, and still now.
Hello cousin s in Ireland the O'Brien family and Mc Caffreys, it was a sad day for the world.
I was 12yo and home because my parents homeschooled us kids. Walked out for breakfast and my parents had the news on. We watched it for hours and hours and I held my younger sibling and we all just cried. It was the day I lost some level of innocence about the world.
🌸 Never forget! 🇺🇸 I was in a cubicle at work and the news came across the radio. My husband and I worked at the same place, and as I was hitting the door to leave to get home and in front of the TV, someone hollered at me - I had a phone call. It was my mom and she needed to go to the hospital. We did see a TV in the hospital, she was diagnosed with diverticulitis, we got her home and we finally got home. Our world changed that day. No airplanes flew for days - that was so strange. ✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I taught in a Lutheran school. I was teaching 5th grade when my daughter called. She asked if I had heard about the plane. Of course I hadn’t. Then the D.A.R.E officer came in. He helped my students understand 😢. My husband was the principal; he walked to each classroom and told each teacher. That afternoon we had a prayer service in the church.
We were at work but our internet at work was very limited, since we lived less than 2 miles away our boss sent us home to watch the news and check in with work to update them. Got home to my 11 year old son in tears because family and friends had been calling to check on my Mom who was visiting NH and was due to fly out of Boston on Friday, but nobody could remember when her flight was. I got everyone called back and calmed down and spent the night watching the news and packing clothes and getting the car ready, then drove 22 hours to get my Mom and bring her home, which was another 22 hour trip. It was a long stressful, emotionally exhausting week. But the number of cars, fire trucks, and other emergency vehicles that were headed northeast with American flags on their car antenna and USA signs in their windows was amazing.
Thank you for your comments about unity without tragedy. I pray for that often.
I was 25 years old working in an insurance claims office in TN. I remember we locked the doors and went to the break room to watch it on the tv.
I think most of the world came to a standstill that fateful day and the days that followed. So many life's lost, so many families grieving. So heart breaking. Blessings.
I was just waking up and flipped the TV on, Went and got my cup of coffee and heard what was being said. I ran back to the TV and fear hit me hard. 🥺 My children was already at school and I wanted them home. I arranged for rides for them to come home. I still had to go to work because being a CNA people needed me. I worked 2nd shift and took my children to work with me. Resident's at the nursing home where I worked was all torn up about what happened. My children colored and got them occupied on other things and they finally settled down. It took me forever not to be scared to let my children go back to school but with the help of my children and family it's easier, But I will never forget. 🥺💞
I was sitting on my living room floor with my newly adopted daughter that we brought home from Azerbaijan in August. I was on the phone with my life insurance company and watched as the second plane hit a second tower. I ran to my youngest son's preschool to pick him up. My two older children were in high school. They released them early. I will never forget.
My mom, sister and 1 month old nephew heard about it on the radio and pulled the tv out of my sister’s guest room closet and stood there watching stunned for a long time.
I worked for Office Depot in Delray, Florida. I worked in the real estate/legal dept. 5 of us shared a clerk. He sad in the cube next to me. He watched TV while working at his desk. He stood up and loudly yelled that a plane hit the first tower. People who lived close, went home to get TVs. We stood there, glued to the TVs, in shock. Our office closed early. That morning was the last morning that I have ever felt safe in America. 😢😢😢
My brother was with the Coast Guards Atlantic Strike Force bio hazard team out of N.J. He was sent to N.Y. that day and was there for 10 months helping at ground zero and other areas. People did know the USCG was there besides the team taking people by boat. All the debris was covered in asbestos and other chemicals. This unit was responsible for clean up. He did end up getting ill as did the police and fireman and passed at 55 due to working in those conditions. Miss him but so proud.
I’m so sorry for your loss❤
Was at work split shift at a small town convenient store. Heard it on the radio. Went in to town to be with a friend. Watched it play over and over on tv. Got back to work to a mile long line at our gas pumps. People put gas in anything they could. I had to go tell them they could not put it in 5 gal buckets or milk jugs. I was soo scared and my hart was heavy for the families of all those lost.
My train obsessed son LOVED the train content! Sometimes he hears the trains in your videos and comes to see what I’m watching. 😂
The fragility of the world changed that day and has never quite been the same. I was a 17yr old Australian who had just moved out of home and was unpacking boxes when it first came across the television quite late at night. I remember being glued to the t.v for hours in shock not believing this was actually happening and then when the second plane struck then the feelings turned to sadness and utter disbelief. As an Australian we cried and mourned with you. R.I.P to all the souls lost that day and wishing peace to the millions left behind that will never forget ❤️
I worked at IBM in Ireland. It happend at like lunch Time. Airport closed, and our building was at the decent to land there. 10k of international employees under circling airplains. We heard people lost their lives that we knew in those towers. We evacuated the building, asked public transportation to get us away from the building. As we worked for international teams we started to do recovery for companies that lost their office in the towers. We than got sent to other countries to do our work. It was after x-mas before we returned to "normal". It made us all very aware of what a crazy world we lived in.
I was on my way to work at Palm Springs airport. When I arrived, everyone was silent and watching the TVs. When flights were resumed, I was tasked with what TSA does now and screening passengers, patting them down, and screening through luggage. I was the first TSA with no real training. It was frightening
I remember that day ,my son and I were laying down watching TV so he can take a nap when it happened I will never forget that day .I just started crying because they were showing all those people running out of the building and the dust just following them and people yelling it was horrible. 😢.
I was driving my children to school. And I heard it over the radio as my husband was calling me to tell me at the same time. I pulled over to answer him and I remember him asking if I heard the news and I was in shock. I told him I just heard on the radio. I asked how bad and he said it's bad. He told me he wouldn't be coming home from work for a while. I went a week without him.
I was a minister with The Salvation Army so I was at the church at my office. My staff came and asked me if we could turn on the television and I set it up and turned it on we watched the other plane Flew into the second building. I still pray for all the families who lost their life.
I was 17 and one month from giving birth to my daughter. My husband was on base working. The absolute waves of fear that washed over me wondering what world my daughter was going to be born into exactly one month later. Would we have boots on the ground war here on home turf? Where would my husband be and my father and 2 brothers? Turns out theyd all go over but wouldnt all return. I was almoat paralyzed with fear. The only thing making me move was preparation for possible disaster incoming and keeping my unborn child safem
I was in southeast Missouri with my husband. We woke up heard it on the radio and got up and drove to his grandma's. We got there just in time to see the second plane hit. I was jest 20 years old
I immediately went to my children’s school and remembering how the teachers who were terrified like us parents handled the situation not knowing what was happening next. It was very scary.
I was 52 working for a newspaper in Nebraska in advertising. The reporters started to set up TV’S everywhere. I remember being so scared.
I was a sophomore in high school. It was on every tv in every classroom. They even rolled tvs out into the hallways to watch. I lived in Omaha, Nebraska and remember finding out they brought Bush to Offutt AFB. I will never forget 🇺🇲❤️🙏🏻
I was a sophomore in high school. I’ve never heard a school of almost 2,000 students so quiet in my life, even lunch was SILENT. It was such a scary time, but I’ll never forget the chills when people came together and started chanting USA!
I was teaching 5th grade and my children were in middle school across the river. The teacher from across the hall ran into my room and announced that the Trade Center had been bombed. All I could do was stay calm, keep my students calm, and wait till I could get home to my own kids. As soon as my planning period came around, I turned on the news and watched the second plane hit. My younger sister lives in southern New Jersey and my parents were living in Washington state at the time. Getting word from my sister wasn’t easy as phone lines were jammed. I also have family in upstate NY. It was so incredibly awful. Thankfully the local military base had been converted for civilian use. I kept telling my students there was nothing to worry about as we didn’t have an active base. I was so scared but couldn’t let my students see that. 🇺🇸. We didnt have cell phones at the time.
I was in college. I was walking back to my dorm room when a friend told me about it and I went to my dorm and turned my tv on and called my mom. Her and my dad were on there way back from the VA hospital in Fayetteville NC. I told her what happened and a plan hitting the pentagon. My uncle worked a few blocks from it. She told me that she would call me as soon as she heard from my uncle. He was fine. But I never prayed so hard for those affected.
Thank you for both of your services. I too am a military wife. 😊
I was working at a group home for disabled children, we were all so scared and couldn’t leave. We were calling our loved ones. My Son was in college and the one plane was headed his way, scariest day. Prayers for all the families❤😢
My husband died with a heart attack still miss him we from Phil Campbell Alabama
The plane that went down in the Pennsylvania field had family on it glad your son is ok
I was homeschooling my daughter. My Mom was watching the news, and yelled for me to come quickly. Couldn't believe what I was seeing.
I was 12yrs old sitting in class. We went into a lock down a friend was pulled from class and didn't come back(she had family working). They turned on the t.v. in our classroom and we watched it all. Our week came to a complete stop that day. I remember teachers coming and going from room to room talking in hushed tones.
We where all called to sit on the carpet and the teacher tried move on from the morning. But we just couldn't. We had come in from recess just before the lock down. I remember my dad meeting me at the bus stop something he's never done. My mom when she got home woke me up to just hug me.
I was at college, 20 yrs old. Walked through the student area, and it was on the TV. Anyone who saw it, we stopped and didn't move until it was over.
I was working at a grocery store in Grand Rapids Michigan. I was told while working. And thought it was a joke. But they said it wasn’t. Went to lunch and sat in my car listening to the radio. Was in total shock.
I was 25 and working on the 11th floor of an office building in Northern Virginia. We heard it on the news and could see the smoke from the Pentagon from our floor. I drove home and there wes NO cars on the interstate. Extremely surreal. I met my boyfriend at his job, we bought a TV and went home and just sat there and watched the news coverage the rest of the night.
I was at home with my first daughter who was 6 months old and my friend called me and told me to turn on the TV. I turned it on in time to see the second plane hit the other tower. Then I watched in horror, when people started to jump to get away from the heat, then the towers fell, I was in tears and thought what kind of world did I bring my daughter into.
Same
I was teaching. 32 years old. I taught preschool, self-contained classroom (am and pm 1/2 day program). The custodian walked passed and told me a plane hit one of the towers. I lived in NJ at that time. He then came back and said a second plane hit. We knew it was not a mistake by then. Coworkers were not okay, lots of folks had family members who commuted to Manhattan for work. By the time my pm class came, a few of them were aware of what happened and I had to talk with them. When I got off work to watch the news, dozens of stations were not available because some stations were broadcasted through NY and the towers. Family members couldn’t get in touch with us because phones were down. Eeriest thing was how quit the skies were afterwards. I lived close to an army base and naval base, so there was some fear from that.
I am from Germany. Due to the time difference, it was afternoon here. I was in the office and was just about to go home when the news came on the radio. We were restless because colleagues from our company were there to present a product. I took the bus and the subway home and when I got to my apartment, my husband shouted at me that the second tower had also been hit. The station's presenter from RTL, who had been a correspondent in New York for a long time, was presenting for 7 hours straight. New York was his city, you could see the horror on his face.
2 of our colleagues died there because they had postponed the meeting for a week.
I’m so sorry you lost 2 colleagues….. they won’t be forgotten x
It was my son’s first day of preschool in Arlington, VA. We stepped out the front door to the sounds of more sirens than I had ever heard before. Driving to preschool I could see smoke in the distance but couldn’t tell where it was from…it was the Pentagon. Locked down in the preschool because no one knew if more attacks were going to happen. Finally let us out and I had to drive back streets home because the main roads were all outbound as evacuation routes. My husband worked a block from the White House and walked home because he was afraid that there would be an attack on metro. Such a clear and beautiful day but it was eerie for days without the usual airplane traffic. I will never forget.
I was driving to work and it was on the radio. When I got to work we had 3 tvs on all day long. I work at a vet clinic and we had a bunch of people cancel their appointments. We actually had a coworker that was in New York on vacation, she watched it from the roof of a building. Everything was surreal, so crazy! September 11th is my niece’s birthday, she was 5 years old at the time. I remember dropping off her gift that night and going home to watch more news.
At the farm folding laundry. I told my kids life would change as we knew it. My heart broke for the loss of lives and families. It is still heartbreaking. We prayed Our military base was on High Alert.
I was a puppeteer. My co-workers and I were about to start rehearsing our scripts when our program coordinator rushed into the rehearsal room and turned on the tv. We just quietly sat there rest of the morning.
❤ the message to be getting on the same page is strong. Thanks for your story. It truly is an unforgettably tragic event. Makes me appreciate your happy birds and fish and daughter and her cozy corner tearing magazines. I can’t imagine the feeling of bringing home a new baby. My friend’s daughter was born the following year on sept 12 and she was so glad she didn’t have a 9/11 bday. At that point it was all very fresh and shocking. It really still is.
Thank you so much for remembering 9/11 and sharing your experience . I couldn’t agree more about how united our county was then. I worked at Boeing in Renton, Washington as a project manager on the commercial airplane program. My Co workers and I were in disbelief them shock. our boss rolled out a tv and we watched together . I will never forget.😢
I was nursing my new born daughter, TV was on, suddenly the programm was interrupted with this terrible news. I started crying, looking at my baby and thinking in what world did I brought my child? What did I do?
My mom was helping me get ready for school. She was brushing my hair. I’ll never forget that day
