20 Anniversary 9/11

[Dirtshooter]

Let us never forget how this country was devastated that morning. I know everyone recalls where they were that day and how for days and days there were no sounds of airplanes in the sky. How there was a solemn quietness in everyone. I remember there was no laughter for quite awhile. I hope and pray this country never experiences this kind of sucker punch again.

AMEN. 

[phiferran]

Never forget. 

[aknifemaker]

Amen to that. Seeing that smoking  hole in the ground where the towers stood was very strange.

Got up before sun rise, put my flags at half staff.

20 years ago I was turning a wrench, boss hollered to come to the office, got there in time to see the 2nd plane hit.

I will NEVER FORGET!!!

God Bless all that have fallen in the defense of our great country.

Long story, short.

I survived.

I remember hearing it on the radio, didn’t have cable at the time. I’ll never forget that day. I surely hope something like that never happens again.
Prayers to all those that lost someone that day, and those that have lost loved ones since that day.

I was a PFC in the barracks at Fort Campbell putting on my boots after PT and a shower so my roommate and I could go to breakfast.  My platoon sergeant ran into my room in a frenzy telling us to put on CNN then went to the next room with a TV.

Nothing was the same anymore.  Four and a half months later I was in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

I was training on a new system. I wanted to get done because it was my birthday and I wanted to birthday stuff. That's all I can say other than my Wife expected to be a widow soon after.

I remember when I heard that morning too. I was feeding my daughter, she was 15 months old. I had the tv on and it went to a special news report. Shocked isn't the word, really.

I was at work and secretary had to go to bank and I was manning the phone. Her mother-in-law called and told us. I went down the street to a business that kept the t.v. on and saw the 2nd plane go in real time. Let's hope this never happens to U.S. again!! But I don't feel very comfortable about all these Afghans coming here!!
