I know this is off topic- but I just wanted to stop and remember that today is 9/11, and to honor all those we lost.
Can we stop for a moment to remember 9/11?

nice 2001 or 2012?
I still remember installing T-1 circuit at an elementary school, seeing the images on the TV, then going out to my work van and yelling while pounding the steering wheel feeling that all too queezy gut check...
I was honorably discharged right at 4 years out when it happened and I really wanted to go back but couldn't
Semper fi!

I am a retired Naval Reservist. I was retired about 7 years when 9/11 happened. I was SO mad when that happened. I was living in New Jersey at the time & a whole lot of people from NJ were lost. I hope everyone remembers the lost souls who died that day. Thanks for listening to me.
My heart goes out to all of the people who are grieving lost loved ones on this day.
I think we all remember the shock, horror, outrage, and the heart broken feeling we had. Most of us remember what we were doing when we first heard the news.
So many victims, so many hero's. The worst of humanity and the best of humanity were brought to the forefront during that time.

Thank you to all the responders that did their job that day and my heart goes out to everyone who lost loved ones. I still remember waking up and staring at the tv not comprehending what I was seeing. I was frozen staring at the tv for 30 min until my husband got up and asked what happened. We cried when the second plane hit the tower and cried a week later when our 3 year old drew a picture of a plane flying into a building. That's when I knew for sure my sons world would be different than the one I grew up in.
At the time I was working at the now-defunct Circuit City as a sales rep in Big screen TV's....
We were told - that day ONLY - NOT to try to sell anything!!! We knew folks would be coming by just to watch the news footage and
respond in their own way...We introduced ourselves, then moved away....
The normally booming music on the PA was replaced with mellow mood tunes....
It's been 12 years....but it seems like yesterday!
WE WILL NOT FORGET!!
Salute to ALL who made the ultimate sacrifice...

I will never forget because that was the day the final nail was put in the coffin we call home.
Once upon a time home was a safe place where everyone was treated with the respect they earned.
Now we have lost and are losing so many of our best and brightest in a never ending war for peace.
Now we are losing so many of the freedoms that so many fought and died for.
No, I will never forget the horror and heartbreak of that morning 12 years ago today. I remember and am heartbroken at how our world changed.

That day is vivid in my memory as well. My work did not close so we only got updates as clients came in. I remember finally getting home and seeing the unimaginable scenes. It looked like I was watching scenes from another country, not ours. I cried for those people in the planes, then I cried for those in the buildings. Then I cried with the ones who lost loved ones and friends.
I visited the site sometime after the tragedy. I cried looking at all the pictures attached to the fencing. There were so many. Each one had its own story. Each one had someone that loved and lost a friend, spouse, relative. I still cry remembering.
The skies were so blue that day. The silence in them was so very eerie.

As a former Fire Fighter, I know too well what was going to happen that dreadful day. Men and some women that had followed the call to dedicate their lives to helping their fellow man. I for one can never forget what happened to us that day.
My heart goes out to anyone who lost loved ones, fellow workers or whoever.
Even if you do not believe in God, do not believe in a higher being that watches us, believe this, many people lost their life that day and we will never forget them that did nor the ones that decided to help their fellow man. May God watch over you and yours.
