Thanks Mike......sometimes I think this is starting to go away and we must never allow that to happen.

that was a great tribute you posted, being that i was only 16 when it happened but was on the train a few blocks away from when it happened and went to school on 60th street and could see the flames and smoke, this day always brings back painful memories. but reminds me of all the heroes that risk there lives and gave there lives for our safe being and freedom.

i will NEVER forget this day..i was in high school, computer class, and i remember was tryin to be the first with info.. i have a cousin on the FDNY, and thank god, he was ok that day. he was off, and got called in from jersey.. could never possibly think more of that day than what actually happpened-- my blessings go out to those families you have lost someone on this day. may god bless and our troops to come home safely!!!

I was a freshman in College and was actually on my way into NYC via the Path in Hoboken that stopped right at the WTC. We were supposed to be going to pick up some products for some installs we had lined up that weekend until I got a frantic call from my Mom. I'll never forget when she called me to tell me to go pick up my 9 year old brother and start heading towards my uncles house in PA just in case something else was going to happen and she'd catch up with us later. May God rest the souls of the innocents that died needlessly on that tragic day.

Does anyone remember back in the day when they were in the Newport Mall area it literally looked like the towers were a block or two away. They were RIGHT THERE. Now even with all the construction and big lofty condo's they have down there, it still feels like there's something missing.

That day is one that will be with me forever, and I agree something is missing. I was working in Jersey City at 101 Hudson at the time; heard about the 1st plane then watched the 2nd hit. They evacuated us becasue our building was the next tallest in the area. Had to walk to Hoboken before walking across the Bayonne Bridge that night back to Staten Island.

We must never forget what happened, and we must always support those who serve and protect this nation of ours.

For me, this day is doubly sad as 4 years ago today I lost my mom as well.

I remember I stayed home from school that day. I turned on the tv and thought it was a movie, mainly because I thought something like that would never happen. It's a shame that it happend, and no one should ever forget the impact it left on the U.S. May those who perished rest in piece. They will never be forgotten.

[RS22b]

Agreed. I always feel like there is something missing when i look downtown from NJ.

I was also a freshmen in college and was almost right across the river from them all the time.

Saw right after first plane went in from the smoke on my commute to school. Many cars parked on rt.3 bridge near Giants Stadium. Saw 2nd plane go in once i was on the tpk. 1st bldg go down from my job at the time. 2nd go down when i was retreating to my mom in Paterson to make sure that she was ok.

Never Forget- Never Forgive!!
My Wife worked a block away. She was on the Path into work that day and the train got stopped in JSQ. Her former company was shut down for weeks due to all the debris and clean up. They never survived and shut down.

There are certain moments in life where you'll never forget certain images.

It seems like ages ago but was working on Ave. of the Americas and had driven to work that day. Coming down the west side highway about 15 unmarked cars came blowing by me at what seemed like 100mph. The towers were there one second and gone the next.

The mass exodus of people just walking uptown and holding signs up "need a ride to the hospital" will be with me for life. Just thousands and thousands of people some covered with soot just walking aimlessly uptown as there was no where to go.

The city literally just shut down all together.

Certainly will never forget.

im just happy my mom made it out alive man. alot of neighbors too. all walked from across the street of the WTC all the way to queens. craziest **** ive ever heard

[STi Mikey]

Ill never forget it. I was a senior in high school. They let us out early. I went down to the beach in Westport CT and just sat as the smoke rose over Long Island sound in the distance. My good friend's father passed that day.

Sadly there are only 15 posts here. Just goes to show how quickly America has forgotten this. The President didn't even have the decency to show up for the Memorial at Ground Zero, he sent his 2nd in command. SAD. VERY SAD.

Very sad, and quite angering. He should have been there, hands down.

I was taking care of some guests at my resort for work. The TV showed a memorial service for 9/11 to which the British gentleman promptly sighed and said "This, again?" and asked the channel to be changed. I walked right over and got in his face and gave him an ear full.


How quickly we forget.

[DreamEvil]

Thanks for the post

Never forget

[pete_falcone]

Here in Los Angeles for over a year now. Still haven't forgotten.

I saw some folks on the roads here who put memorial ribbons on their cars. The drivers at Streets of Willow shared a moment of reflection before we set out for our track day. We haven't forgotten.

[Charlie-III]

I was in two datacenter sites in Secaucus that morning. I left the first one after both planes had hit and saw the smoke while driving to the 2nd site.
It was chaos in the site, but I worked in a UPS room all day and had no clue what was going on. I did get "interviewed" by "dark suits with shiney shoes" while onsite. I guess the gov had servers in the site.
That afternoon, I drove to Wayne via rt3, it was really wierd. No traffic, cars parked on the shoulder, etc.
It was ~5PM when I finally found out the towers were down.

I spent a number of nights, after work, at the WTC site helping clean up since I had skills that could be used.
I would get home covered in what felt like talcum powder.
It's tough at night at times, remembering what it looked like working in the rubble piles.

When I would go to work, I drove over Skyline drive, every morning the towers would greet me as I went down the Oakland side.
For quite a while after the attack, I was greeted by a smoke pall over southern NYC instead.:sad:

Our town, as well as some close by, lost quite a few people in the attack.

i remember i was at fort benning georgia going through boot camp...it was my first day of boot..just left the reception station and was heading over to our battalion and once we stepped off the bus our CO told us of what happened and for a week straight we pulled guard duty..the CO said that there would have been a chance of fort benning being attacked due to this being the only infantry boot camp for the army... this is definetly etched into my brain for the rest of my life...

my father was apart of the recovery detail. spent a week or two there...thank you to all that work ground zero..god bless you.. and my heart still goes out to the familes that have lost loved ones....thank you guys

May we remember those who have been lost



This picture was taken for those who haven't had the opportunity to experience the memorial. The photo may never portray the emotions or the experience itself, but is intended to show others the amount of respect we have for those lost and for those who serve.

I live about 65 miles north of the city, and I could see these lights if I went to a high elevated clear area. Absolutely amazing and heart breaking. I was only in 6th grade when it happened and I will still never forget. <3 Great Picture.

[Highway Drifter]

Awesome pic HKS...those lights are visable from MILES away man, and its no exageration saying its still emotional seeing them.
