I was at almost the exact same place on the road as I was on Sept. 11 2001 when they rang the bell for all of those lost yesterday. It gave me goosbumps....
It was one of those things that will live in my memory for ever.
I remember.
I had an appointment in the city that morning. Had friend in the buildings and family living a few blocks or two awayQuote:

I was scheduled for a meeting in tower two on one of the upper floors only two days later than the event...with several of the folks that perished, one of which was a woodworker I had already met at a previous meeting in Des Moines. To this day, I cannot watch any kind of footage or look at most pictures...Quote:

I believe I will always remember where I was and what I was doing on 9/11 and at the time of JFK's assassination.
Here in St. Louis, we had a "commentator" express his opinion that too much emphasis is placed on the day. If I had been able to call in to the station, I would have reminded him about December 7, 1941, D-Day, and any other day that our nation was threatened or attacked. I cannot keep from shedding tears to this day when I think about 9-11. How dare he try to minimize the lives lost and those that were forever altered!?!?! Makes me a bit upset...but that is how I feel.
Makes me want us to go into a little construction. Make the middle east a parking lot. I know, to severe, but that's why we think with our heads and not our emotions. I pray nothing like this happens on American soil again.
I think what I remember most was the attitude of Americans after it happened. Hell, even crooks took a break. We were all one. No black, white, asian, or latino. All one. Remember the flags everywhere? Nobody would think of beeping at somebody for sitting at a green light too long. No road rage. We were one. I wish we hadn't forgotten so fast.
I remember the day like it was yesterday. Lost a firefighter friend. My wife was in the same Walmart with the some of the hijackers the night before in South Portland, Maine. I remember her telling me that she would stay up there for a few extra days because it seemed a bit safer. Then we found out that she may have passed these XXXXXXXXs in an aisle.
