I remember that day vividly too. I was in college that day totally unaware.

Thanks to you and your husband for serving our country and promoting democracy. I’m a firm believer that it is not just the soldier but the soldiers’ families that serve also. My baby brother is currently in Iraq serving in the Army. While we’ve always been proud of America – this has been an enlightening couple years for us.

*and I am super single, cough, cough* LOL

I was in eastern Ohio. I was driving a semi truck with my trainer. My dh called around 8:30 and told me a plane hit the WTC. Wow, tragic, with no realization of what would come not long after. We saw a tad bit on TV in the rest area we were at. Most of it we got from days of coverage on the radio. The evening of 9-11 we had to drive through NY, about an hour north of NYC. I had never seen so many cops on the roadways prior to that day. I just remember the days that followed were just a haze of despair, mourning, disbelief and fear.

I was in NY on that day. I’ve never really shared my story in its entirity until today. It feels incredibly therapeutic to get it all out there. Thanks for letting me share the link to my story.

I talked about 9/11 on my blog on my oldest sons birthday, because he was born on the first. My Dh was in the Corp at the time. I remember looking down at D and wondering what kind of world I had just bought a child into. My Dh would later go to Iraq twice, and two other locations for training purposes. He was gone for most of our oldest sons first 3 years of life.

I don’t think any of us will ever forget where we were that day much as our parents have their memories of JFK’s death. Life definitely goes on but I hope everyone takes a moment today to honor those who died, the families left behind and the men and women in our armed forces who are still dealing with the aftermath of that awful day. I didn’t post my own “where was I,” but a column written by Dave Barry for the Miami Herald. It was published 2 days after 9/11 and it really resonated with me.

I wont forget, we were in Gym class(8th grade) and were all dressed waiting for Ms. Mac to come and she was late, she finally came out of her office crying, we all had no idea what was going on that day, until she told us. we were all shocked, how could that possibly happen? She excused us from class, and the school let us all out early that day to be with our families…It was so scary to watch on tv, i couldnt even believe what i was looking at, so sad. I cant believe it was 7 years ago

I was in class when everything happened, and hubby was in the Marines at the time. I’ve posted a bit about our stories in my blog.

I was making a morning snack for my daughter today and I happened to look the microwave clock: 9:11am. In this house, we all paused to remember that dreadful day and the bereaved families who have to think about 9/11 every day.

I was in college. I wrote my whole experience on my post, but all I can say is, “I’m proud to be and American, where at least I know I’m free. And I won’t forget the men who died who gave that right to me. And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today. Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land. God bless the U.S.A.”
