I can't imagine what it must be like for the survivors...it must still be a very vivid memory. I was only 10 when it happened, in CA, and I remember vividly that morning -- after brushing my teeth, stepping out into the living room to find my parents staring at the news, stunned, and simply telling me, "I don't think you'll have school today..." Then I saw what was being shown on TV. I thought it was just some action movie at first glance, until my parents said that and I connected the dots.
If I remember even that vividly, it's scary to think of how the people actually there that day must feel now.
Mmm. I remember that day very well. It was....disturbing, put mildly. I was working for the Army. Security came crashing down, troops turned out in full battle gear. We were all sent home, for two weeks. Nothing was ever the same. The place hasn't seen "peacetime operations" since. This day won't ever be forgotten.
Nice tribute, thanks Cremebrulee,
My best friend's husband was a first responder fireman who died trying to save people
In tower one. They were soul mates.
She had to raise their children alone.
I can't even watch pictures of the fireman there today without tearing up.

I know people whose kids are in high school, where 9-11 is sometimes barely covered in class. In NY/NJ, it is still a vivid memory to those of us living or working in NY on that day. Almost half the people I know, know someone who died that day.
I hope someday you get the chance to visit NY and go to the National Sept 11 Memorial and Museum. Just bring tissues.
