Ten years later?!?!?!

It's weird, Our lives are so commonly peaceful and calm that everyone remembers this ONE day. It is sad, but I feel bad for the innocent people that have to live through that everyday.

Think about ground war on our own soil. We are lucky people. RIP

I was in fourtj grade and didnt know what was going on my teacher was crying and i had no idea what the twin towers were
I was shocked when it hit the pentagon because i live only about 30 mins away from there

It was a day off for me, back in my installing days, I was 27. I woke up around 10AM, it was a gorgeous day up here in N.H. just as it was in NYC, sunny, low humidity, hardly a cloud in the sky. I turned on the TV and put on The Weather Channel too see if it was gonna be nice for a few days so it would be worth washing my Integra. I read on the crawl that all planes in the United States had been ordered grounded. I was like wtf of course, so I put on a news channel and saw what was happening. The Pentagon had just been hit, one tower was still standing, it fell about 25 minutes later.

I even remember what happened the day before 9/11. I watched Behind the Music: Green Day the night before, I think it was the debut of it on VH1. I even remember some people who came over to the house to visit. One of them was a big dude who was bragging about how easily he could steal my car, and other cars, but he'd been to jail for it and didn't do it anymore. My roommate attracted those types of people sometimes. Kinda crazy how the mind works, that one can remember things like that surrounding a major event, especially as an adult when your mind isn't a sponge like when your a kid.

I was in 2nd or 3rd grade at the time I believe, cant remember.. But since I'm over on the West coast, I was getting ready for school and saw my mom watching the TV, she stopped exercising to watch the TV which was very unusual, and I dont know if it was that day that I realized what was going on, but I may have been as I was shocked about the whole thing, all the details of the event were cloudy

I was in the third grade, coming home I didn't know what was going on, my mom and Grandma were watching the TV upstairs in shock and awe, as I sat there watching. Unbeknownst to me, that day would change this country forever. It didn't hit me in the severity of what had happened till this past Sunday morning until I was watching TV and the remembrance ceremony came on, As I listened to how many people had been killed or injured, and some of the individual stories of kids losing their dads/moms/sisters/brothers. It's still heartwrenching. The day after it had happened, school was closed. I didn't know what a war was, or what it meant to declare such a thing, but I had a slight sense how badly ravaged this country had become.
