I don't know if this anything anyone would like to share. But, just like knowing where you were when JFK was assasinated, 9/11 is of interest to me. Being from NJ, we were greatly affected by the terrorist disaster. I have already posted that I witnessed it and also knew people who were killed. The area where I live in NJ lost a large amount of people and we have many memorials. Just curious as to how people across the country and world remember and memorialize this date. It will be very emotional where I live and wonder how others feel.

We live very close to a Naval Base and Army Base. Children attend our schools and were greatly affected due to this attack. I was hospitalized at the time and could not see my family or even call for a long period of time.

I hope that everyone will take a moment of silence tomorrow to remember what has happened in this Country. Not only in NY, PA, Washington, but also to all of our men and women who have been injured or lost their lives due to this horrific incident. I know I will listen to the names being read tomorrow.

Thanks, Linda

I was at work at the time - as the day went on everyone had their radios on the same station so wherever we walked we could here the latest events as they were reported.
It seemed so unreal- not much production accomplished that day.
And management brought TVs into the cafeteria so we could see updates there too.

I was on my way to an English class in college that I promptly skipped (I shouldn't have been in the class - Freshman class on writing papers, and I'd already gotten a B in a Grad lvl class - writing papers on 1930's American Lit, anyways). I couldnt get over it.... I was an intern at the time (in Memphis) I had just talked to several people in the towers the day before. Alot of people in my iline of work were affected- had friends, family, and co-workers there. Even now, when I travel to NYC, I stay right across the street from there, and walk by it on my way to work. *shudder*

listening to Howard Stern ...I know bad habit....but I thought it a joke until I changed the station. I am certainly going to have my moments of silence tomorrow for all who lost lives as well as all who fought for lives and all who gave their lives fighting for the lives of others while trying to control things on the flight they were on. All brave souls will be remembered with joy and adulation and the solemness they deserve!

Blessings of healing to all,
Victoria

I'm sorry, but still can't get over watching the second plane hit. I didn't know what it was a the time. Very emotional. Had enough issues as it was.

thanks for taking the time to post. I believe it is something no one will ever forget. And then of course the @@@ Osama had to send a video now. No words.

Everyone here shut down that day- all the local businesses, all the kids got picked up early from school.

There was a moment of silence this saturday before the LA Galaxy game in memory of the victims. I'd say it is definitely still fresh here in SoCal.
