It's been 6 years

I too remember it like it was yesterday. I was in school at the time. I remember a ton of kids left school. Their parents were freaking out and took their kids outta school. I was trying to figure out wtf was going on. I remember my english was being so retarded. She told us that a plane had crashed into not only the wtc, but the white house as well. For some reason I remember thinking about all the documents that would be burned if it crashed into the white house. I can't believe it was 6 years ago. To think, theres kids running around who werent around before the 9/11 attacks. Its crazy to think about. God Bless everyone affected by 9/11.

Yeah its pretty screwed up. I dont think it got the attention today that it should have. Im proud that my brother was a marine in Afghanistan right after it happened. Much respect to all those who died and those who will to fight for our country.

I was in the cath lab and a nurse came in and told us. We were working patients back to back through there that morning and couldn't get free to watch the news developments. We got three updates from the news nurse. Then someone had the idea to tune into news radio on the stereo. Unbelievable that that could happen in our country, somehow. It made me want to touch base with my wife, who was at home that morning, and my son, who saw it unfold at high school.

My heartfelt sympathies and respect to all those who lost loved ones and to all those who've sacrificed loved ones, both still living and dead, to the war since then. I hope we can get some of those brave military people safely home sooner than later, but I don't see how.

I was in science class. First period. Our teacher came in all flustered and upset. He didn't say anything to us, he just dimmed the lights and turned it to our local news. Everyone started gasping as we all realized we had been attacked by somebody. Some people had family up there. Quite the thing to tune in to in the morning.

That was the same way I heard about it

, i mean stangly enougth i kinda had a largish emotional effect on us in britain too

I could believe it, cause im sure you in Britain didnt expect us Americans to be attacked like that, and Im sure many of you believed that the same could happen to you. Although, you dont piss off as many people as the US, but still.

Id also like to point out that I feel this day should be a national holiday in the US, a day celebrating a man who cause deaths to millions of natives, a holiday based on religion that not even all of the country follow. I think this day would be a much more deserving day. Millions of americans where affected, and Im sure you all know someone who was affected.

I was in Thailand. People kind of shrugged it off over there. I didn't think it was a big deal until I came back to the states.
