i miss the nationalism(?) that came shortly after that tragic day. It made me proud to be an American.
These days, not so much....
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
I remember those 9/11 cookouts at BG. Always could feel it there.
I was spaying a cat when the first plane hit. Was home watching the news when the second hit and towers fell. I remember catching some grief because I didn't go out and paint everything I had red, white and blue. My response was, A) I showed my patriotism and gratitude for being an American when I joined up and served and B) you should be just a patriotic post 9/11/01 as you were on 9/10/01. Otherwise you're flag waving to be part of a crowd. It changed me. Pissed me off. I'm still pissed. But my patriotism and love of this country didn't change that day. But man everyone who ran out, bought flags and jumped on that emotional band wagon sure have sulked back into their lives of comfort and entitlement.
and I kept help but giggle with all you folks being in grade school.
I was at work. We had a little tiny tv with a VHS slot for watching dental videos. We heard what had happened and turned on the only channel we could get and watched the second plane hit. It was certainly something I will never forget...
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-
Definitely didn’t have a clear understanding of it that day but I can vividly remember where I was.
4th grade, Mrs. Mcutcheon’s English class. Another teacher came in and told her and she started crying and left the room to talk with other teachers. We knew it was something bad but didn’t know exactly what. Charlie, the boy sitting behind me thought it was a gas leak at the school. They came back in and explained to us what had happened and I remember we weren’t allowed outside for recess that day.
That evening I remember riding with my dad to the gas station to fill up all our vehicles and how long the lines were at the pump and my grandparents coming to the house to talk about it.
I will never forget that day. And, like 2th, the response was awesome, but just 18 short years later, we're right back divided, it seems.

My how that day changed this country.
I remember clearly. Had a breakfast meeting in downtown Charleston that morning. Driving over the Cooper River Bridge around 8:45 am when the first plane hit, they came on the radio and shared. By 9 am or so, second one hit and then our lives changed forever. I mean think about how we lived on Sept 10, compared to every day since.
Never Forget.
I still remember all of the “United We Stand” bumper stickers. Our country definitely rallied together during those times.
11th grade US History. Watched the 2nd plane hit. Black Blaze on here was the first to tell me that morning that he thought a US Embassy had been bombed and little did we know it was New York. God bless all of those first responders and folks involved.
I was laying in my bed in Rehoboth Beach and my wife came in the bedroom and said,
"you need to wake up and see this", referring to the breaking news.
I had just gotten in late the night before from working in the Trade Towers on 9/10.
I was inside one of the towers all day, the day before doing a presentation.
I just sat there in shock for about an hour
